BooBuddies are here to help our NewBees feel welcome during our upcoming recruitment period. Joining a new club can be a little intimidating, so we thought it'd be fun if every New Bee had a friendly face they could reach out to.
You don't need to be an expert at Marapets or Boo Crew! You just need to be yourself!
👻 So... what do I actually do?
Honestly? Just be friendly!
🐝 When you receive your New Bee assignment(s), send them a quick MM introducing yourself. Let them know you're their Boo Buddy and that you're happy to answer questions or point them in the right direction.
🐝 If you see them around Club Chat, say hi!
🐝 If they're nervous about joining conversations, encourage them.
🐝 If you see a Fashion Show, Teasday, or another event coming up, let them know! Sometimes all someone needs is a little invitation.
The goal isn't to overwhelm them with information; it's simply to make sure they know someone is happy they're here.
🐝 How many New Bees will I have?
That depends on how many volunteers and new members we end up with!
Some Boo Buddies might have one New Bee, while others may have a few more. We'll do our best to keep things balanced so everyone has someone looking out for them.
🤷♀️ What if I don't know the answer?
Noworries!
Nobody expects you to know everything. If a New Bee asks something you're unsure about, just point them toward a member of staff. We're always happy to help.
🚫 A few things we don't expect
Being a Boo Buddy shouldn'tfeellikework.
So...
🐝 You don't need to be online every day.
🐝 You don't need to send gifts, please don't send gifts.
🐝 You aren't responsible if someone becomes inactive.
🐝 And if real life gets busy, that's completely okay.
Reallifealwayscomesfirst.
📅 How long am I a Boo Buddy?
The program will run throughout September during our openrecruitmentperiod.
After that, your official Boo Buddy duties are complete... although we certainly won't stop you from making a new friend. 🦖
🌟 What makes a great Boo Buddy?
The best Boo Buddies aren't necessarily the ones who know everything about Marapets.
Keep this list handy and tick things off as you complete them. There's no deadline! Just enjoy discovering everything Boo Crew has to offer at your own pace!
