Principles of Effective Service

Contact Us | Youth Summits & Conferences | Awards | Resources & Information | Volunteer | Youth in Action

Use your skills, abilities and interests
Are you just doing something, or are you maximizing your talents to truly make a difference?

Projects should be asset-based
Are you focusing on the deficits or assets of the group you are serving?

Make projects ongoing
Does the project implement personal connection and commitment, as well as the best use of abilities and interests?

Group projects are not always the most effective.
Are too many people and not enough tasks making the project less productive?

Serve where it's really needed.
What will make the greatest impact?
