Meghann and I are up tonight tag-teaming the prep work for the March newsletter. The Chicago streets are quiet, and I think the ground is finally thawing. I’m imagining Kona’s puppy head is nestled against Meghann on her couch back in Charlotte. Our teammates in Tanzania are just waking to start their day.
As we write these newsletters each month, we think about what will excite you.
Then after the moment of truth, when I hit send, the nerd in me waits for the statistics. How many opens? A click! How many clicks? Which button will have the most clicks?! Ohhh the analytics!
The button the receives more clicks than any other is “JOIN US”!
As someone dedicated to helping engage our supporters, this is music to my ears.
The quest for meaningful involvement, however, is tricky because Tanzania is far away for most readers. However there are many ways that we could use your help from wherever you are. Our small-but-mighty team relies heavily on volunteers and interns. Harnessing the unique strengths and talents of our supporters has helped TFFT grow.
We are currently looking for the following volunteer positions:
Volunteer Coordinator: The more volunteers we have, the more we need help with project management for volunteers. Are you a results-oriented, people person? Could you help motivate, empower, and encourage our army of volunteers? The more organized our volunteer efforts, the more impactful everyone’s hard work will be. Is this you? Email Kaitlin {at} TheFoundationForTomorrow {dot} org.
Social Media Manager: From awareness building, to sharing TFFT’s impact with supporters, to spreading the joy of the TFFT’s Scholars’ faces, we are looking for the right person to manage our social media accounts. Could this be you? Email Kaitlin {at} TheFoundationForTomorrow {dot} org.
Graphic designer: We are always in need of graphic design work. From invitations, to web banners, to informational brochures, we could use your creative touch to help us communicate TFFT’s message. Interested? Email Kaitlin {at} TheFoundationForTomorrow {dot} org.
Team TFFT Cheerleader: Especially with ITriForGood, it is easier than ever for athletes to turn a physical challenge into an amazing effort to support TFFT’s work. Last year supporters sweated for TFFT in South Africa, Spain, Tanzania, and all over the USA. Could you help inspire our Team TFFT athletes through their training and fundraising and cheer them on on race day? Shoot me an email and say so… Kaitlin {at} TheFoundationForTomorrow {dot} org.
RIDETZ Recruitment Chair: We want you to work with us to recruit a new group of ambitious and inspiring riders. Would you help design and implement a RIDETZ Recruitment Strategy for 2016? Think of how many more people we could reach. Don’t waste any time… email me Kaitlin {at} TheFoundationForTomorrow {dot} org.
Web developer wizard: Don’t you think it’s time to spruce things up around here? We do too! Could you help us make a strong first impression with a website that reflects the organization we have grown to be? Drop me an email (Kaitlin {at} TheFoundationForTomorrow {dot} org), and I will do a major happy dance!!
Donation page customization magician: We want to improve the donor experience on our donation page. This bite-size web development project is perfect for someone with coding experience but not enough time to devote to revamping the entire website. Do you speak code? Is this something you can do? If so, you’re amazing. Email me, pretty please… Kaitlin {at} TheFoundationForTomorrow {dot} org.
These are certainly not the only ways to be involved, but these are some areas where we have identified great need. Filling these volunteer positions would really strengthen our team.
