Activities & Resources to Strengthen Connections & Foster Purpose
Treasure Hunt
Leadership Treasure Hunt. Youth and adults can engage in a fast-paced exciting treasure hunt that promotes leadership skills and team work. This would be appropriate to use with older youth at a leadership training day.
Community Service
Project Sheets can help Project Leaders to identify competencies of members at varying levels of expertise, locate resources, and link projects to health, citizenship and science. Conducting a service learning project provides members with authentic experiences to improve their communities while gaining real-world experience. This Service Learning Project Sheet will provide ideas to make their communities better. If youth are yearning for ways to make the world better, then the Global Education Project Sheet has ideas for that, and if they specifically want to advocate for health, then the Building Health Advocacy Project Sheet will get the group started.
