New Officer Starter Kit
Events & volunteers: where to start
You make the year feel like something. The trick is matching events to the crew and budget you actually have.
Not your role? Pick a different one.
Plan the year
- □ See what's due each month so vendors and rooms get booked in time. Open the Year Wheel →
- □ Pick fundraisers that actually pay off for your school — not whatever's trendy. Fundraiser Picker →
- □ Line up local business sponsors to cover event costs before doors open. Sponsorship Kit →
Run it well
- □ Recruit with short, specific asks and one QR-code signup hub. Welcome one-pager →
- □ Feed and appreciate staff using a favorites collection — including paras. Favorites Collector →
- □ Debrief every event in five minutes into the binder while it's fresh. Handoff Binder →
