Didn't know which thread to put this in and didn't want to start a new one, so decided to put it in here:
I got put in charge of developing a 2017 quarterly plan for community service-learning projects for the
whole family. Needs to be something that kids (of any age range) can gain leadership, critical thinking skills, motivation and confidence to show them that they can make a difference in the community.
For example, we have an event called Penny Harvest. Mainly elementary schools collect pennies (or any other money, but the point is to show that even a little bit helps) and the student leaders then get the school together and decide which non-profit organization they want to donate the money to. More goes into it, but you get the idea. But that basically only involves the kid. Need events for the whole family.
Sooooo, I am brewing up some ideas, but of course ANY suggestions or ideas could help. Shit, if we even use your idea, I can try and make you a part of it somehow, if you want. It has to be more than just, "write cards to veterans." An idea that I thought of would be to have the school create a community garden on their property. They would grow vegetables, herbs and shit and then donate it how they see fit. While they are doing that, they can learn about the importance of nutrition and the value in helping those families in need. The whole family would be involved by having shifts, where certain families would check on the garden at certain times. That is kind of a stretch, but you get it...
So thanks for any help, I am going to tag a few people off the top of my head, but anyone please answer. Go Tribe!
