How Do I Host an Information Session?

An information session is a critical first step to grow your Chapter. Use our tips to guide your planning

Information sessions are a great way to spread the word about your Brigade, answer common questions, and reach your volunteer minimum.

Here is a rundown to make your presentation a success:

1. Use Global Brigades support: If you need help rehearsing or want someone to attend virtually, don't hesitate to reach out.

2. Invite co-leaders to join you: There is strength in numbers and having co-leaders by your side can make your presentation more impactful.

3. Track sign-ups and attendance using Eventbrite: The platform allows you to manage and monitor the number of people attending your event. Fill out this form for a custom Eventbrite page.

4. Advertise in different ways: Maximize your reach by using both traditional methods like paper flyers, email outreaches using these email templates, or digital marketing like social media advertising.

Preparation is important. For an idea of the information you'll be sharing at these sessions, explore the customizable info session slides by country and Brigade focus below.
