Instructions: In this assignment, I am asking you to plan a way that you could serve your community by addressing a need. You are not going to implement the actual project. Instead, you are going to write up a plan of action that will benefit a particular situation in your community. The following steps could get you off to a good start:
- Take a look around your community. This could be your school, your neighborhood, your city or a larger area such as a state, nation or the world.
- What needs can you identify that might be? Some broad areas to consider would be the environment (trash, for example), low literacy levels, hunger, under-age drinking).
- Use your textbooks; look at issues that are covered in the local media; talk with the students in your room. At this point, do not restrict or eliminate any suggestion. This is the brainstorming phase.
- Next, examine each idea. Will it solve a real need that is not already being met in some other way? Will both you, as well as those being served benefit from the process? Is it possible to do considering the limitations and the resources you have available? Talk with your instructor, fellow students, agencies and other members of your community or campus.
- Now, write up your plan in a 250-word paragraph.
