Preparing Members for Their Assignments

Set members up for success

The first few weeks are one of the toughest times for new members. During this period they are learning the ins and outs of your program, your community, and their assignment. At the same time, they are learning to live in a new environment and face new personal challenges.

Set members up for success with tools that will help them understand their roles and anticipate challenges before their service begins.

Use the following

• Pre-Orientation Retreat is a pre-service assignment designed to prompt members to think about program-related topics before service begins.
• Create a program handbook: Find tips for creating program handbooks and view sample handbook content on the Handbooks 101 page in the Supervise section.
