In partnership with Do Good, Be Good, we’re hosting a virtual, highly-interactive workshop for AmeriCorps staff: Planning Your Member Calendar Around the Member Lifecycle. The workshop is taking place on Thursday, May 23 at 2:00 PM Eastern (11 Pacific; 1 Central).
Workshop Details:
Every AmeriCorps member has a unique experience, but there are patterns that show up consistently as members move from the Honeymoon phase to Facing Reality to Overcoming then finally to Accomplishment and Exit Fever. By strategically aligning your training and member engagement activities around this lifecycle, you can anticipate the challenges members will face and proactively intervene just in time. A well planned calendar can go a long way to insure member retention.
Key Takeaways:
- A clear understanding of the member lifecycle
- What members need at different stages of the lifecycle
- The types of activities you can include throughout the program year to meet member’s needs
