If your trip or event is longer than a week, or involved participants flying in from all over, considering adding a day or two before and after the trip as time to prepare and/or debrief your team.  We believe strongly in both good preparation and the power of team retreats and while these vary in many forms, the long term impact is incredible.  As you’re building a retreat we would just like to spur some thought into what you may plan for these events.

 

RETREAT

Retreats are great ways to step aside from a busy life, gather your team in one place, and focus on the future event.  You may never find a better opportunity to prepare your team before leaving.

Retreat Content Examples

  • How to Debrief on the Event
  • Expectations & Responsibilities
  • Communications with Home
  • Money Management
  • Sharing Stories
  • Personal Development & Journaling
  • Thanking Donors
  • Nuts & Bolts

 

ACTIVITIES

Activities are built to enforce the community and enhance the experience of all the participants.  We’ve seen retreats bring complete strangers together as teammates in a matter of days.

Retreat Activity Examples

  • Hiking
  • Rafting / Canoeing
  • Cooking Meals
  • Scavenger Hunt
  • Ropes Course

Passport as Application Field Type
Now a better way to manage passport! Managing passport information can be a challenge each participant may have a passport, may be applying for one, or even your favorites who don't even know.  ServiceReef has built a simpler way to manage passport data in a way that matches how your participants live life and manage their own passports.  Let's explore how this now works.   How do I make passport data part of an application?  A new field has been created in the application builder (both for the Master Application and the Event Application) to require passport field data.  You can drag and drop this block of data at any point into either of these applications.  We do recommend you not do both.  For most organizations this is best to keep at the event level as you may have a number of domestic events where a passport is irrelevant.  Once you have added this item you will also have the option to make these fields mandatory.   What information is collected? The fields include: Passport Status Full Name on Passport Passport Number Passport Date Issued Passport Issed By Passport Expiration Date Passport Image Upload (encrypted)   How do we access this information once it has been entered by the participant? If you add this as an application field, the data is accessible through the participants application and the export fields for your team.   Can the user update their information? Yes, ServiceReef dynamically links these question fields with the user's profile so they can go into their profile at any time and update any passport information.  You can instruct your participants to log into their accounts and find the Passport tab to the left of their account.

Custom Confirmation Message
Customized Event Confirmation Messages   We are pleased to an additional tool for customizing your confirmation message.     Where can I find this message area? This is located in your Application tab for an event.   Where is this message seen? The message you create here will be visible on the registration confirmation page (regardless if the event requires approval or not).   How might we use this? This customized message block is a great place for you to load next steps, key links, and other pertinent data you need to share for instruction.
