Week 18: Steps Toward Performing a Successful Community Service Project
Steps Toward Performing a Successful Community Service Project
During the course of the semester we covered many topics that can strengthen leadership. One of the things that you can do to exercise leadership is by designing a service project. If you are a bit stuck, here are 10 tips to help you out.
1. Determine what is needed in your community/county.
2. Determine what types of activities your have interest in and abilities to do.
3. List all activities.
4. Ask yourself, how you would rank the activities in order of importance, based on steps 1 & 2.
5. After you decide upon your community service project, develop a plan.
6. Carry out the project as planned!
7. Document your club's efforts with photos, videotape, or written notes.
8. As you work on this project, monitor the activities taking place and make adjustments as needed.
9. Develop a summary report of your experience when the project has been completed. Share it with others.
10. Feel good about your contribution to the community and positive learning experience.
Weeks 17 and 18 count for 25% of your final grade. To showcase what you have learned from Leadership Development, give your all to these assignments. You have all grown over the course of our semester and in reading your posts, I have seen each of you share a part of your own leadership journey. Add your personal story to your Week 17 and 18 assignments. The beauty of these projects is that they are student-centered and that they can be applied to the real world. Many of my former students have gone on to implement their forward projects -- you can do the same. Think of your last projects as the beginning of the next chapter in your leadership journey.
