Preparing your team for home is an ongoing process that takes time and attention... most importantly, it’s a process that runs from before your event to well after everyone has returned home.  Let’s talk about a few things you might do in each key stage.

 

Before the Trip

  • Set the expectation that this is a temporary experience but a life-style of engagement is possible.
  • Read books of healthy service engagement before you leave to help set the heart right, like When Helping Hurts.

 

During the Trip

  • Stay consistent with daily debriefs
  • Talk about how people are going to use their lessons from this event once they get home

 

After the Trip

  • Follow up with opportunities to engage
  • Ask constituents how they are engaging now that they are home
  • Prepare your stories so each member is ready when asked, “How did it go?” and “What did you do?”

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.
