Developing a community service project for middle school students can be a daunting task, and coordinating the large number of contacts necessary for the project to be successful is often overwhelming. .Building Character through Community Service: Strategies to Implement the Missing Element in Education provides materials and guidance to simplify this process and ensure its success. Included are sample letters, worksheets, lesson plans, and other documents needed to set up a community service project, whether it is a one-day event or a yearlong activity. Suggestions for the timing of the activity, making connections with agencies, grouping students, recruiting chaperones, arranging for transportation and evaluation are presented, along with in-house activities, strategies for publicizing an event, and useful websites and references. This workbook is designed for middle and high school educators and administrators in public and private schools.
