I Have an Idea
That’s great! Follow the steps below to get started:
- Make a plan.
Now that you know what you want to do, figure out how to make it happen! Make a
timeline and a list of the things you need to do to get it done. (If you need help,
check out how some examples of how to do
this in our profiles) Do you need other volunteers to help you? If you want to work
with a specific organization such as a retirement home or animal shelter, who do
you need to talk to there to set a date and a time? You'll need an adult to help
you whether it's a teacher, your parents or somebody else. For information on opportunities
in your area, check out our Resources section.
- Be a Ripple Kid! It's time to implement your plan and make a difference in your
community.
- Make sure you submit your project when you're
all done and send it in to us.
- Remember that you can continue to make a difference even after this project is complete.
You may learn something the first time that helps you decide what you want to do
next. Keep the ripples going!
