What should I do first?
The first thing you should do is figure out what kind of event you want to do! Day of Service events don’t have to focus on recovery, but they should be created with needs of your local community in mind. Events can take many shapes and sizes.
Think about these three concepts when determining your Day of Service:
Community
Is there an organization that does great work in your community that could use extra help? Create a donation drive for their needs!
Collaboration
Do you have friends or colleagues at organizations that have different missions, but similar values? Think about teaming up with them to maximize the impact!
Connection
Is there a population of people that could benefitfrom an event where they can get connected with resources? Organize a community resource fair!
