TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED OVER THE SUMMER • Make sure to choose a project that is a “Learning Stretch” • Choose a project you are sure of--are you passionate about this project? • Question your project choice--is it a realistic project both time-wise and financially? • Select a community mentor who has the expertise to provide you with the best mentoring--make sure the person is at least 21 years of age, not a relative, and lives in town or close to town • Keep a time log for all the hours you work on the project--remember your mentor has to be able to verify these hours • Document, document, document--take pictures, journalize, keep receipts, etc. • Remember your Community Service must be related to your project topic.
