Other Project Ideas
Interested in working on issues related to youth and family policy or practice in your community? Below are some ideas to help get you started.

• Write an article about the positive contributions of young people in your community. Submit it for publication in your school or local commercial newspaper.
  
  
• Develop a resource guide for elementary and junior high school students that provides information on how they can become involved in the community and lists resource agencies from which they can seek assistance/support.
  
  
• Develop a guide for other high school students on how they can volunteer to work with young people in your community, such as by tutoring or mentoring a younger person or helping out in a youth service agency.
  
  
• Offer to serve as a youth representative to a local youth service agency board of directors or for the editorial board of your local newspaper. Share your opinion about how young people might best be supported within the community.
  
  
• Talk to your parents about how the family could become involved in a volunteer project to benefit young people and the community.
