One of the best ways you can start leverage partner supporters to grow your booster club is by actively marketing your organization.

Additionally, when developing your marketing plan for your booster club, consider timing. Summer months when school is not in session is a prime window for recruiting new volunteers and gaining booster club community support.
During the school year, brainstorm methods on how you might keep your booster club relevant in the school environment and community. Consider strategies like:
There are a number of duties booster club members and volunteers have to take up in order to keep a booster club running smoothly. One of these duties is recruitment. The more volunteers and members you are able to incorporate into your organization, the better the chance you will have to grow your booster club! Not only is it important to recruit volunteers, but it’s just as important to build a relationship with them.
Assigning the position of booster club ambassador to a more social member of your booster club gives potential volunteers and community members a point of contact in the club to interact with. Not only does it give the community someone to talk to, it also give your booster club someone to do some initial outreach within the community. We suggest picking a volunteer with a social outgoing personality type because starting conversations and building relationships is usually a natural trait. With your booster club ambassador position filled, you can now work with them to build your support, fundraising and volunteer network within your community. Before you know it you’ll know someone in your community that can help or support the club in almost any undertaking!
When trying to grow your organization’s membership, it’s helps to be strategic with your volunteer recruitment. Almost any new volunteer is a new opportunity to grow your booster club relationship network. Your volunteers who have their own friends and varying contacts in the community, the booster club can continue to grow via building partnerships with businesses in the area. This can be extremely beneficial for not only gaining new members and volunteers, but also expanding the work your booster club is able to do. After all, the main function of a booster club is to, of course, support the program it is affiliated with. By leveraging booster club supporters through outside community networking, you’re not only supporting your program, but you’re involving more and more of the community! Additionally, if you collaborate with other members of the community, you’ll have a wider network of people you’re able to either involve as volunteers or people who will come to support your cause or organization!
One of the most important components of any booster club is its membership. With a dedicated group of volunteers, leaders, and supporters, any booster club has the capacity to grow and succeed. Larger and growing booster club volunteer / supporter rolls equals more long term growth of your organization’s goals. If you’re looking to expand the amount of booster club community support your organization is getting, follow the tips we’ve outlined above.
