Brainstorm Your Idea You need to come up with 3 needs in your community that you are interesting in supporting Write a short paragraph for each Some things to answer Why are you interested in this issue How can you help How can you bring awareness to this subject in your school/city/community?

Share your ideas Now, share your ideas with 3 others Talk about… Feasibility (can you actually do it)? Is that a good choice for the needs of the community? How they will create awareness with it? Any advice you would give to them

Now that we have some ideas… Why Bother? What would happen if we do nothing for the causes we are passionate about? We need to be passionate about our ideas to be invested in it Make sure you pick a topic that you want to make a difference in
