About this guide
Many afterschool and summer programs recruit the same way every year without checking whether it works. This free fillable template walks you through a simple plan: learn who your families are, map the assets and barriers in your community, and set an enrollment goal based on your real capacity.
From there you work backward to a timeline, write a value statement that leads with the benefit to families, pick two or three outreach channels, and fill in a week by week recruitment calendar. A quick flyer check at the end makes sure every piece of outreach is clear and easy to act on.
