A Pass It Forward volunteer mentor invites some friends into their living room. The host of this PIF event asks their friends to look at the 100 Ways To Pass It Forward - The friends are then asked to choose one way (in their heart) and your volunteer mentor will help you find 99 other like minded people or organizations like you, and help put you all together. The "A United World" website will provide all of the tools necessary to implement your idea so you can make a difference in this world!
Our "Pass it Forward Volunteer Mentors" will help you find your purpose, passion and put it into action. For more information - sign up for our 30 Minute Pass It Forward Chat Challenge www.passforward.org.
Once your mentor helps you, you may want to consider doing the same thing for others. In order for you to put together a successful event, your volunteer mentor will walk you through each step and provide you all the free resources you will need based upon your talents..
Step 1: Register your Event
Take a moment to register your event online. Posting your own Pass it Forward event online means you can get your own web page for your event, invite others to your event, track RSVPs and send details and reminders to your guests.
Remember, make your event searchable if you^d like to allow supporters to RSVP. Make your event unsearchable if you wish only to invite friends and family.
Step 2: Invite Friends, Neighbors, and Colleagues.
Start with people you know. Think about friends, family, colleagues and neighbors. Aim to invite a couple dozen people to your event, and try to ensure you have at least 10 -15 guests.
You may also want to reach out to your larger community. You can create your own event flyers and post them at your local coffee shop, grocery store, or library.
Encourage all of your guests to RSVP for your event so you know how many people to expect. Also, don’t forget to send an email to all of your guests a day or two before the event to remind everyone of the event’s details.
Step 3: Get your Materials in Order
