HOW SERVICE BUILDS CHARACTER

Outline for Character Education Workshop
by Lori Butterworth


To bring this workshop to your school or group, please contact: The Boomerang Foundation

Meaningful partnerships with community nonprofit organizations can help young people build confidence in their ability to have a positive, direct impact on issues that are important to them. In this lively, humorous and interactive session, you’ll learn about what nonprofits are looking for…and not looking for… in teen volunteers. Participants will come away with a philosophical framework and practical tools that can be used to create community service programs that are aligned with the goals of the nonprofit sector.

Background/strategies/goals:
Imagine youth taking leadership roles within nonprofit organizations to address emerging community needs. Imagine that any young person with an idea to make the world a better place is supported by nonprofit organizations willing to invest in and encourage their success.
