Understanding Service Engagement
Executing a successful service project includes four steps: investigate, plan, serve and evaluate. This process helps insure that any service engagement opportunity will be a success!
SERVICE PLANNING STEPS
Investigate
To determine how you can best serve, you must find out what your community needs most. By investigating issues facing your community and what causes those issues, you ensure that you maximize the impact of your project.
Plan
For a successful project, set goals and break down each piece of what needs to be accomplished.
Serve
Put your project into action and transform your community.
Evaluate
Throughout the project, track your progress and gather results. When the project is complete, showcase your impacts, celebrate meeting your goals and recognize partners.
