Recruit face-to-face

Even though parts of your project are happening online, experience shows that the best way to recruit young people and make them aware of and interested in a project is by meeting them face-to-face. One way of doing this is to meet and present the project to the young people where they already are: For example, in schools and youth and sports clubs. If you have young ambassadors it can be useful to involve them in these kinds of visits, especially if you are not a spring chicken yourself. At eye level, the young ambassadors can advocate for the importance of the young people voicing their opinion and therefore taking part in the project. Another option is to ask your endorsers with decision-making power to join. This will send the message to the young participants that the decision-makers are genuinely interested in listening to their opinions.
