how can units participate?
All Pioneers chapters, clubs and councils are encouraged to participate in the Centennial. Ways you can participate include:
We are excited to share with you the International Centennial Project Soft Launch Guide. This guide will give you all the information you need to share with your sub-units and volunteers as you decide how you would like to participate in the International Centennial Project.
Use the materials from the Pioneers leadership training: It Only Takes a Spark, Centennial Readiness Training Camp provided at the 2010 Annual Meeting.
Participate in a Pioneers Project in a Box. Pioneers is piloting 3 projects in a box across the United States and Canada in 2009 and 2010. These projects will also play a part inour service initiatives in 2011 and include:
Pioneers Environmental Initiative: Sparking a Clean, Green Planet
Pioneers Literacy Project: Spark the Love of Reading
Pioneers Military Mission: Sparking Support for Soldiers and their Families
Link your unit's Facebook page if you have one to Pioneers Headquarter's organizational page. Encourage your members to network, reconnect and share ideas, best practices and resources to support Pioneers' volunteer efforts on our Facebook organizational page. If they are new to Facebook and need assistance in getting started, encourage your members to access our online resources available to support them in joining our online community. Guidelines are also available to assist units in creating a Facebook page.
Post the Centennial seal link on your unit’s website if you have one. The seal will link visitors to Centennial information on the Pioneers’ website.
Mark your calendar and plan on attending the 2010 Annual Meeting and Centennial Celebration, November 2-5, 2011 at Boston's Westin Waterfront Hotel.
Encourage others to join as a member of Pioneers! Our strength is in our membership of eager hands and hearts willing to answer the call of those in need. Help us grow our ranks by recruiting new Pioneers.
Purchase special commemorative Centennial items in bulk for your unit's use locally by contacting John Baicy, our partner on Pioneers Essentials.
