The Problem

We want to educate Elementary School Kids on how to complete their own service projects to serve others.

Our Plan

We have a team that created a curriculum surrounding leadership, recognition, and service to present to younger kids. We want to teach them that everyone has needs and shouldn't be judged for the different needs they might have. We also want to help kids start getting into service work from a young age, making them more empathetic and understanding of other people. It also teaches them how to work with others.
