Project Ideas |
Because
helping others is a part of being a good citizen,
any service learning project is a way to increase
your citizenship skills. However, good citizens also
know about government and other things. Here are a
few ways you might combine your citizenship project
with service to the community.
- lead
a tour of the local courthouse or other government
buildings
- repair
flags for the local VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars)
- visit
with veterans, older family members or neighbors and
write a story about them to share with others
- organize
a voter registration drive
- host
an "appreciation day" for police officers,
the fire department, elected officials, city/county
employees, teachers, or others
- begin
an "adopt-a-grandparent" program
- help
with a community picnic (serve food, set up tables,
pick up trash, etc.)
- create
a "community map" of government offices,
community service organizations, landmarks, and other
important community features
- help
train new 4-H officers
