Volunteer Encouragement
I have the benefit of having somebody on my junior high team who is INCREDIBLE at encouraging our adult volunteer team. Simply put, Katie Edwards is better at loving on leaders than anybody I have ever known. I thought it might be worthwhile to share some of her simple little encouragement ideas with you from time to time. So, in the new “Volunteer Encouragement” category I will share an idea with you that Katie has used to encourage our adult leaders.
SPECIAL DELIVERY
Supplies Needed: Candy bar, padded envelop, note card, postage
Cost: Under $3.00 per person
Everyone loves mail! Find out what your volunteer’s favorite candy bar is, and send it to him or her in the mail. Mail it in an envelope, or stick the address label and stamp right on the candy bar! Attach a little note of encouragement to the back side of the candy bar.
EXAMPLE: “You are doing an awesome job as a small group leader. Take a break today, kick your feet up, and enjoy a treat on us! Have a sweet day!”
- Tip:Take the candy bar to the post office to have it weighted so you get the correct postage. You also might want to purchase a candy bar that won’t easily melt: For example, a Starburst or PayDay (although this could be tough since most people prefer chocolate!). that’s why the padded envelope option is a good one. Not only does it protect the candy bar from breaking, it helps protect it from the heat.
