Do you have a volunteer opportunity or a real need that students can help you meet?

The following questions may help you determine if you have or might develop a service-learning opportunity that is both valuable to the community and will strengthen student learning.

• What is the mission or purpose of the organization?
  
  
• What are its current goals and projects? What challenges does your organization face in working toward its mission?
  
  
• How might youth help it reach its current and future goals?
  
  
• Is that organization working to prevent as well as serve a community need?
  
  
• How might youth help as volunteers, develop valuable products, help shape thoughtful public policy, or provide input into planning? For example could students help write articles for newsletters, develop a public information campaign or assist with a research project? Could they put on special assemblies for younger children, provide support staff for special events or help produce public art?
