As school, which has for a while seemed so distant, appears on the horizon, you may be wondering how to recruit other students to organize your NSAIDD Day activities. A good place to start in this pursuit is to look to other students who are very involved in school activities (class representatives, prefects, student council, etc.). Often these students will be looking for other ways to contribute to your school, and NSAIDD Day might be just what they want to help with. At the same time, students have to begin their involvement somewhere, and you are sure to find student volunteers in all pockets of your school. In order to have them voice their interest, however, you must make it clear that you need their help! Here are some ways you can do that:
- Make posters with brief information on NSAIDD Day advertising a meeting for student volunteers, and place them around your school
- Make an announcement that contains similar information
- Wear clothing advertising NSAIDD Day, and when people ask you about it, give them a flyer that details how they can become involved
Of course, there are many other creative ways to display the information you wish to convey. Think about what students in your school might be receptive to, and try that! It also might be a good idea to approach the staff at your school to see who might be interested in supporting your initiative. Try emailing them, or approaching them individually. Always be professional! Be clear about what NSAIDD Day is, and how they can support you. This is true for students as well.
Let us know what works for you! Leave a comment here or send an email at nsdlife@on.aibn.com. Be sure to share your ideas with other people you know at different high schools in your town or city who might be interested in running an NSAIDD Day event, maybe for the first time even! Together, this year’s NSAIDD Day can be the biggest and best yet.
