FINAL EXAMS
For the next few weeks, you all will be finishing up your Week 17 & 18 Final Exam! As we approach this holiday season, make an attempt to find inspiration from local leaders in our community. For North Carolinians, we are all about football, so it is no surprise to see our very own star quarter-back Cam Newton making a difference with his non-profit! Newton visited local Mecklenburg schools with gifts to teachers and students. The Cam Newton Foundation focuses on inner-city youth receiving educational resources and participating in extracurricular activities!
Week 18: Steps Toward Performing a Successful Community Service Project
Steps Toward Performing a Successful Community Service Project
During the course of the semester we covered many topics that can strengthen leadership. One of the things that you can do to exercise leadership is by designing a service project. If you are a bit stuck, here are 10 tips to help you out.
1. Determine what is needed in your community/county.
2. Determine what types of activities your have interest in and abilities to do.
3. List all activities.
4. Ask yourself, how you would rank the activities in order of importance, based on steps 1 & 2.
5. After you decide upon your community service project, develop a plan.
6. Carry out the project as planned!
7. Document your club's efforts with photos, videotape, or written notes.
8. As you work on this project, monitor the activities taking place and make adjustments as needed.
9. Develop a summary report of your experience when the project has been completed. Share it with others.
10. Feel good about your contribution to the community and positive learning experience.
We are almost done with Leadership Development! Instead of taking a multiple choice exam, you will be working on 3 activities:
1. Final Reflection
2. Leadership Fable
3. Forward Project
You will find the details for your assignments in Weeks 17 and 18. The activities count as 25% of your grade. Good luck!
