Time: 1 Hour
STEP 1: Decide either whom you would like to help or how you can use your skills to help others. Maybe it is a mentorship, hosting a training workshop in the community, or spending time with some teenagers or college students who need some direction and a positive influence.
STEP 2: Once you determine your recipients or audience, get a game plan together on what you are going to do.
- Will it be informal or formal?
- Is it someone you know or someone you don’t?
- Who must you talk with to get this started?
- Do you need to get any training, licenses, or certifications before implementation?
- What materials or resources are needed?
- Do you know someone who has done something similar and you can pick their brain about the process and pitfalls?
STEP 3: After your game plan is developed, talk to the person that you’d like to support, or with the organization that could utilize your services. Share your idea, along with how they could benefit from it.
STEP 4: Once you get the YES (it’s okay if you have to ask more than a few people before this happens), begin the process of helping others believe in themselves and reach their goals. What an amazing way to give back!
