The following guide will walk you through a process of creating a successful Community Service Project. Attached, please find a list of possible community service projects. Please choose one project and carefully plan your ideas. Each step should be explained in at least 3-7 sentences. Please pay close attention to grammar and spelling. Points will be deducted for grammar and spelling errors. Each sentence should be substantive and well thought out. Step 1 Create a community service project committee to help with the planning process. Develop a list of names and assign each person a title and role. Step 2 : Identiify the project. Look at the specific needs within the community as well as established charitable organizations you can assist. Please be sure to clearly explain your intentions. (When in doubt, please be sure to answer who, what, when, why, and how.) Step 3: Define the project goals. List all of the expected outcomes of the project in very specific goal statements. These goals help guide the project planning process. Step 4: Refer to the goals to create a list of the tasks that need to be completed for the actual event. This might include securing a location, supplies, asking for donations and advertising the event. Divide the responsibilities between the committee members to ensure everything is covered. Step 5: Develop a time line for the project. Identify the project date. Fill in all of the steps necessary to complete in order for the project to be a success. Add completion dates for each step. Refer to the time line throughout the project to ensure you are staying on track. Step 6: Create a schedule for the day of the event. Include all of the setup and preparation as well as the time for the actual event. Step 7: Identify the participants in the community service project. If you’re involved with a specific group, such as a youth group or women’s group, you already have your participants. If you wish to involve more of the community, create a plan for recruiting volunteers. This might include press releases, email campaigns, bulletin board posters and direct mailings. Step 8: How do you know if you are successful? Create an assessment to determine how well the group meets the project goals. This might include a questionnaire, interviews of those you helped or a committee meeting to discuss the event.
