Moving Toward Your Mission
Adapted from Community Partnerships with Youth, Inc.
Purpose:
- To help youth transform their personal missions into a community service project or activity.
Activity:
- Ask participants to review the Mission statements that closely matched their personal missions. List the organizations.
- Group participants around common missions so that each participant is a part of a group discussing the organization in which they have a personal interest.
- Ask groups to discuss the “Mission in Community” worksheet. Individuals may fill out the worksheet.
- When worksheets are completed, ask groups to share their plans with others in the small group.
Processing Questions:
Ask group to:
- Discuss the many resources in a community. In addition to the organizations posted, have examples of United Way reports, telephone books or information and referral guides found in voluntary action centers available for participants to review and use.
- Discuss whether the time is right to pursue service to any of the organizations listed.
- Ask them the first thing they will do to begin to create a better community. Have them write this on Worksheet #1 with the headline, “My Personal Stake in Creating a Better Community.” This is their own personal reminder.
