Anticipatory Set:
A service project can impact the giver, a recipient, and the community. Develop a set of symbols to have participants indicate who they think was impacted by their service project. They may design this symbolism with you.
Sample:
- Pat their head if the service project gave them something.
- Pat their heart if they saw impact on the recipient of their service.
- Wave their hands if the service project gave something to their community.
- Stand up if they accomplished what they set out to do when they began their service project.
Complete the online evaluation provided by the funder, if applicable.
Guide youth to demonstrate to an authentic audience the process they went through from idea to idea gathering to taking action, sharing thoughts and images in a creative format.

- In the head, write or draw a symbol telling what you think was the impact.
- By the heart, write or draw a symbol about how the service project felt.
