Re: New Member Motivation

I think you should give some of the new team members something to do that makes them really feel a part of the club. Maybe give some of the more interested new members a project (i.e. assigning them to try and get a specific business to sponsor your club); make them feel like they are doing very important club business. While the other kids that aren't being focused see that some other first years are getting assigned to projects and tasks, they will feel out of the loop, and they will have to take initiative and want to learn more so they can be assigned things and be a more important part of the club. I know I didn't really know what to do when it was my first year, but I started to get assignments and jobs from my mentors directed specifically towards me, and I began to feel more in place and more motivated to do anything that needed to be done.
