Planning

Make a Plan

Now that you’ve done your research and set your goal, it’s time to start planning how you’ll turn your ideas into action. Here’s what you’ll focus on next:

• Create a thoughtful and detailed proposal for action that clearly explains how your project will serve the need you identified in the community. Make sure your plan is realistic, meaningful, and shows that you understand the issue.
  
  

• Build a clear and accurate plan for how you’ll carry out your project. Include important details like a timeline, resources you’ll need, people you might work with, and the steps you’ll take. Keep track of your planning process in your process journal.
  
  

• Show strong self-management skills by staying organized, meeting deadlines, solving problems, and staying focused. This is your chance to show how responsible and committed you are to making your project a success.
