Message to Volunteers from Spencer
The following message was sent to volunteers on Friday, February 9. If you are interested in volunteering for SRO, please check out the website's Volunteer page for more info, and contact the volunteer coordinator.
To SRO Volunteers,
As we count down the weeks to the marathon, I want to thank you for all your hard work, commitment, and care with the students. Your efforts are invaluable to the program and the transformation of the students. I'm sure you're starting to see the sense of "I can do this" in them. This next weekend is especially critical as we'll be doing our longest run to date and your encouragement is vital.
As we are winding down the season, we are keeping one eye on next season and how we can improve. What we know at SRO is that you, our volunteers, are so important to the success of the program. Not only with your support of the students in the weekend runs, but any extra that you might be able to offer in the way of organization support.
That is what I would like to request of you today. In order to improve our organization, we depend on the generosity of our volunteers as they offer their skills and talents in their areas of expertise as well as running. We are currently short staffed in some critical positions and are looking for volunteers who would be interested in offering additional time to support these areas for the coming season.
The specific areas we are looking for support in are: Fundraising - Project Manager; Grant Writing; Database Entry; Student Liason.
If you are interested in supporting SRO in one of these areas, or in others, or know someone who might be, I would love to have a further conversation with you to discuss your interest, skills, and how they might match SRO's needs. Please drop me an email so that we can schedule a time to talk, and I will also be available at the SRO appreciation event this Saturday and look forward to seeing you all there.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
