Community Engagement

Community Engagement: campaigns are important year-round, but specifically in the fall months, clubs are encouraged to promote the organization and recruit new members. These are also great ways to raise money for the club.

Ideas include:

• Open game night
• Working a local festival
• Junior Civitan week
• Host a school-wide dodgeball tournament to raise money for the Civitan International Research Center
• Hold a dance for your school’s special needs department
• Car washes or home window wash
• Doughnut sales or Bake sales
• Pancake supper (before ball games)
• Fire extinguisher sales
• Concession stands at sports events
• Sell bird seed during winter season. Sell pecans during the holiday season.
• Sponsor or participate in a school carnival such as dunking machines featuring Junior Civitans and faculty members, sponge throw, pie throw, tricycle races, water balloon throw, etc.
• Sponsor a student-faculty basketball game
• Sell a box of candy bars
• Have a haunted house on Halloween
• Raffle a donated prize
• Paint faces at sporting events or carnivals

Does your club have a Community Engagement or Membership Recruitment project you think other Junior Civitan clubs would be able to carry out? Submit your club project for a chance to be featured on the Junior Civitan website.
