Other links that I use often and highly recommend are:
Earth Cubs as my current favourite with all GC themes and pitched at early years but great for everyone - https://earthcubs.com/
World's Largest Lesson is always a great resource to search via topic or Global Goal - http://worldslargestlesson.globalgoals.org/
For teacher learning and our own growth in global literacy and competency I really like Project Drawdown - https://www.drawdown.org/solutions/ all their resources and insights into climate mitigation. My other fav is The Earthbound Report blog with great insights and links to articles and a huge backlog of well organised topics, books and solutions - https://earthbound.report/
Teaspoons of Change doesn't have a lot but there are some older resources there for posters and DIY guides - http://teaspoonsofchange.org/index.php/resources/

A slide deck and guiding document I've used with the Dulwich schools to see service as active citizenship and community participation. They include guiding principles, check lists, forming community connections pointers, etc. that might be useful if you are looking for anything in this space to enhance what you are already doing - Service as active citizenship and community participation - guide.pptx and doc version Service Guidelines & Best Practice - template.docx
Do check out Earth Cubs and their early years approach to service as active citizens - https://earthcubs.com/search/?q=active+citizen
Other useful resources might be http://learningservice.info/ https://www.orendalearning.com/ and not sure if you have come across this article on the Reductive Seduction of Other People's Problems, very much food for thought and discussion - https://brightthemag.com/the-reductive-seduction-of-other-people-s-problems-3c07b307732d
Some more resources to share from the session with the Gr4&5s this morning that took a deeper dive into what is/isn't service and some critical thinking, approaches, checks and systems thinking. Also slides we didn't get to but support turning good ideas into action with some behavioural change communications and social mobilisation tools like how to make a meaningful message and then methods of sharing messages.

And I was reminded of the wonderful sustainability compass from Compass Education - http://www.compasseducation.org/ A fabulous systems thinking tool to try as best as possible to ensure good intentions match good outcomes and looking at things from an Nature / Society / Economic / Wellbeing perspective...
