We need to finalize our circle aim!
Here’s the brainstorm from our February 10th Meeting
Exploring Vision/Goals/Subdomains
- Carline: Hoping we take on what outreach partnerships did. They handled recruitment and partnership opportunities.
- Trinity: Hope for this circle to be able to recruit students or young people in general interested in advocacy. Being able to find those people and help them support our cause.
- Deborah: Building up structures to recruit people and partners. Hosting community events.
- John: Numbers not what matters the most. It’s about consistency. Setting up the bar of what is a member. Need to control quality of what folks are trying to do. Need to evaluate and be honest with members time.
- Juky: Agree with structure and setting systems that are foundations. People join and they see the value and they commit. Also recruit donors.
Synthesis:
- Carline: Creating a sustainable structure for youth power coalition members, current and former
- Trinity: Bringing people in and giving them a sense of not wanting to leave - creating a safe bond
- Deborah: Weaving community to foster relationships so that we can all work together but add something about weaving a committed member
- John: Creating a culture for members to stay, not just for the cause, but for the friendship and camaraderie that folks can create - in spaces like this people could burn out, so need to create culture
- Juky: Question is, how might we recruit youth who are committed? They see the vision and that works as intrinsic motivation.
