How you do it:
Define your community
Identify the greatest needs in the community
There may be one; there may be many. Pick one to solve.
Do not begin with an intention of helping; intend to solve the problem.
Use this list to help identify the area you will address.
Take action with your group or on your own
If it is with a group, check out the Action Guide for sector suggestions
Bring into your plan as many people as you can from your sector or personal networks (friends/family)
Set your timetable for implementation and hold yourself accountable for the desired outcomes.
Do not be seduced by your outputs or by any acknowledgments of your efforts. Remain focused on the outcomes you set out to achieve and achieve them by whatever means necessary. Lives depend on it.
Ensure the obstacles to economic stability are gone and the opportunities are present.
Detail what you accomplished – and how – so it can be an example for people seeking to solve it in other communities.
