Community Service Project

Step 1: Identify the Purpose and Goals

● The purpose of my service project will be to give back to the local community and businesses
that support our student life. At RHS we have the privilege of being able to go off campus for
lunch. Recently there has been some contraversy over this, as the continuation of this
privledge has been brought into question. In doing this project, I hope to remind the
community how much we as students appreciate the ability to walk off for lunch. I would like
to make baskets for each of the food businesses on main street (Ripon Coffee House as an
exception) that students visit for lunch in order to express gratitude.
Step 2: Research the Community

social media, flyers, community bulletin boards, and local media outlets to raise awareness
and attract volunteers and participants.

Step 9: Recruit Volunteers

● Reach out to individuals and groups within your community who may be interested in
volunteering for your project. Provide clear instructions on how to get involved and
communicate the impact they can make.

Step 10: Execute the Project

● Implement your community service project according to the project plan. Assign tasks to
team members and volunteers, and ensure smooth coordination and communication
throughout the project.

Step 11: Evaluate and Reflect

● After completing the project, evaluate its impact and success. Gather feedback from
participants, volunteers, and community members to identify areas of improvement for future
projects.

Step 12: Express Gratitude

● Thank all participants, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters who contributed to the success of
your community service project. Expressing gratitude reinforces positive relationships and
encourages continued support.

Step 13: Sustain and Grow

● If the community service project was successful, consider ways to sustain and expand its
impact. Explore opportunities for continued engagement with the community and plan for
future initiatives.
