CHICKTIME CHAPTER NAME HERE

Encouraging women to develop their passions

and use their gifts to make the world a better

place for the next generation

FOUNDER’S NAME

You can put up a quote here on the slide, or whatever you like.

This is where the chapter founder shares her heart. Base it on your vision

statement and let them know why you were moved to start this new adventure.

Make sure to communicate your heart. That is all that matters in this part of

the presentation. This should take 5-7 minutes. (You may also consider putting

a picture here of the founder showing her serving. If you use a picture, it needs

to communicate compassion.) ** Throughout this presentation, I have included

note at the bottom of some pages in italics. Make sure to delete these for your

presentation (probably goes without saying… sorry!)

CHARITY PARTNER

Educate your audience on who you have chosen to

partner with. A picture slide show, short video, or

better yet a live presentation from a representative

of the charity.

Educating your audience on WHO you have

committed to serve is critical.

This should last 5-10 minutes.

CHICKTIME EXPERIENCE V IDEO PRESENTATION

Show the video on our website to give your volunteers an idea of what

to expect during a Chicktime Event. It is located on the Leader

Resources Menu and in the Video Section of the website.

It is not critical that you show the video, but make sure to watch it

yourself so that you can communicate the high points.

The remainder of the kick-off lays out the practicals, the video is just

a nice way to transition into that.

MONTHLY WORKSHOP/ACTIVITY

LEADERS

Base activity on what you love to do

Bring all materials and supplies for your activity

Bring friends to help facilitate your activity if

needed

Complete Guidelines located on our website

This part of the presentation can be given by the

founder or any of the co-leaders.

VOLUNTEERS

You are the magic. You are the sweet people that show up to simply love

on the women and/or children we serve.

Your role is to just play. If the kids are doing yoga, do yoga with them. If

they are doing arts/crafts, sit with them and tell them how lovely their

project is. Find ways to show them they are special.

The most important thing we can do for those we serve is to joyfully

engage with them and show them they matter to us. (You can’t accomplish

this by standing in the back of the room on the sidelines)

This part of the presentation can be given by the founder or any of the co-

leaders.

Online signup button on our website

Share your email address with us (we recommend

you take a screen shot of the web form and place it

here. Because of limits on file size, we are unable to

include images in this template).

CHICKTIME SHIRTS

Wearing the shirts to our events helps identify us as a group.

The volunteer faces will change month after month. If most of the volunteers are

wearing the Chicktime shirt, the children will see us coming and know that we kept

our promise… we came back. So many of these children have been abandoned.

Shirts are available for a $20 donation.

Anyone can wear our shirts and they make great gifts!

This part of the presentation can be given by the founder or any of the co-

leaders. Make sure to have a cute table set up displaying your shirts and

a volunteer available at the table to answer questions and help find sizes

and receive the donations.

THE BIG ASK

Our goal today: We need workshop leaders through 2014

Our greatest need is your time and talent! We are not asking for big

money, instead we are asking you today to commit to:• Lead a workshop/activity• Find a friend, a group, or someone you know to lead a workshop• Attend and bring friends when you can to our volunteer events• Encourage your circles in the local community to get involved• Get a shirt for you and/or friends!This part of the presentation needs to come from the founder or a very passionate and convincing co-leader. It is CRITICAL that you have a VERY cute little table set up somewhere in the room making a BIG DEAL about your sign up sheet (table cloth, twinkle lights covered by toole, flowers, pen with pink feather or flower adorning it… whatever you can think of to make the sign up sheet stand out) The BIG ASK is why everyone is gathered so DON’T Skip It!!!

DELETE AFTER READING

These are just some thoughts for you, the leaders. Do not include this slide in the presentation.

Of course you are nervous, it you weren’t, that would mean this kick-off wasn’t important to you and as a result it most

likely wouldn’t be successful. Channel the nerves into action and use that energy to make the kick-off the best you can.

The ultimate goal of the kick-off is to fill your calendar for the next 12 months. This is very possible if you have at least

25 women at the kick-off. If you have less, don’t stress, you will still get women to sign up and that is a good thing!!

This presentation portion of your kick-off should take 30-45 minutes depending on how many videos you show.

There is a document with Kick-off tips on the website at chicktime.com located on the Leader Resource menu under

Build Membership. Make sure to find it.

Don’t hesitate to invite leaders from other chapters in your area to attend your kick-off. They would LOVE to come if

they are able!!

Make sure to wear your Chicktime shirts to the kick-off… all leaders, and also volunteers who already have one. Make

sure everyone wearing a Chicktime shirt has the basic Chicktime talking points down. As everyone is arriving and

mingling waiting for the presentation to begin, those wearing the shirt will be asked questions by curious guests.

This is a great presentation to use anytime you are asked to speak in your community about Chicktime. Rotary club,

Lion’s club, Churches, neighborhood associations, or just about any group in town…
