What can I do to help get more
Young Women Involved with LWML?
-
Build a relationship with a younger woman in church. Start off with a normal conversation.
-
Tell her about the LWML and your involvement in it. The more excited you are to tell her about it, the more excited she will be to attend an event.
-
If she has children, help her arrange child care, welcome her child/children, or plan family-friendly activities! (I have NUMEROUS adoptive aunts and grandmas through the LWML.)
-
If she starts to participate, do not overwhelm her. Gradually allow her to get comfortable. She will know when she is ready for a leadership position.
-
If she suggests new ideas, be open to it!Β Not all new ideas are bad ideas!
-
Review your meeting time to determine if it is young woman friendly. Be open to have your activities at a time that accommodates most women. Also consider working with young women to start a new group that works best for them.
-
β¦.biggest one of allβ¦If she tells you no at first, keep asking!
