Another reason for volunteers and families to stay involved are EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS on beneficial topics. These are some of the topics they might find helpful. You can bring in guest speakers to address these.
- Stress Management
- VA Benefits
- Marriage Enrichment
- Conflict Management
- Reunion and Reintegration
- Effective Communication
Volunteers love to be rewarded for their efforts. Plan a REWARD AND RECOGNITION event. This could be a ball or other formal event.
• Recognize volunteer efforts in your FRG. Not enough can be said or done to thank your volunteers!
• Work in conjunction with command. They may have service member awards to be presented. You can combine efforts into one event. In Meeting Magic for FRG’s, you’ll find additional ideas for recognizing volunteers and family members.
