Parents night what do you do?

If you do parent’s nights what do you tend to do for the night exactly and what have you found to be successful?

2

Are you referring to parents coming in to an existing unit where their children are cadets to see what they are doing or a recruitment night?

3

Not a recruitment night so parents to come in see what they are doing meet other parents etc.

I would be looking to put on a few activities for parents to take part in, i.e. to get a taste of what their cadet does on the squadron, and then a BBQ for a social element afterwards.

That’s a good idea

We have something similar, but call it an AGM. It’s led by the committee and separate from what the cadets are doing.

We have started doing that, a secretly good way of trying to recruit more civ comm/CFAV having the open AGM separate from the cadets, allows for the parents and committee members to be in a relaxed social setting rather than on Sqn
