the fawnz sent me this thingy...listen up!
Hi There,
One of our initiatives this year is to generate awareness that Big Brothers’ has volunteer opportunities for women in the In-School Mentoring Program (ISM). As such, we launched a campaign entitled The Search for 100 Women in 100 Days to raise awareness that Big Brothers is not just for the boys. More information about the campaign itself can be found at www.notjustfortheboys.com. This campaign started on November 29th and will end on March 8th which marks the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day. A committee of female ISM volunteers is helping us spread the word with the tagline you know you wanna tell someone. We have just under two months to find 80 more female mentors.
Given each of you sits on one of our Boards and is likely regularly asked why you sit on the board for a seemingly male based organization, I thought perhaps you’d be interested in helping us with this campaign. It’s very simple. All we’re asking is that people talk about ISM and how women can volunteer with either an elementary school aged boy or girl.
A few things you could do include:
· Update your social media with a link to www.notjustfortheboys.com
· Send an email to some of your female friends or family
· Talk to people at work about it
· Ask your company if they would be willing to host a lunch and learn
Really, we just want you to help us spread the word. Even if we don’t get 100 women on board by early March, we are happy to generate awareness. But of course 100 new volunteer would be fantastic too!
Please let me know if you have any questions and have a great weekend.
Cheers,
Ashlee King
