​How to Choose an Issue

How will you TAKE ACTION ?
​
​
Use your values and skills to identify a community issue you care about as well as the root cause. 

  Need inspiration ?   Ask yourself the following questions.
       Then see how other girls took action

Picture
​ If you had 100 volunteers –
​where would you send them ?
  
Sharleen-Issue - decline in STEM as kids age

Picture
What makes you indignant or outraged and you want to see it changed ?   
​
 Isabella Missing & murdered Indigenous Women
 Mikayla_Issue - Environmental Pollution
               Cassie - Child marriage laws

Picture
 Where is your heart ?  
​
Lauren -Issue - Gap between special needs kids and the rest of the students

Picture
​Who do you want to help?  
Who do you know? 
​ What are your resources?

Kaitlyn - Issue - Sensory overload for students with autism
​Jordan - Issue - job seeking skills for adults  with autism

Picture
​ What has happened to you that changed your life and you would like to pass it on? 
Fiona - Issue - dating violence
​
Sabrina - celiac disease


Picture
  What would you tell your younger self?  Kayla  - Issue - injuries at band camp  ​

Picture
What makes you cry or feel choked up when you hear about it ?    
​What tugs at your heart?     
 
Liza -
 lack of access to school for kids in the Philippines

Picture
​ What do you see in your community that you wish someone would fix?
​
 Colette _Issue - college binge drinking

Picture
 What is the thing you value most?  Evelyn - Issue cultural identity

Picture
 What are your strengths ? 
 How could they be used to make the world a better place?
​
              Aleece - lack of historical tours in Spanish

Picture
​​      What are your talents?  
​
Malia - Issue - lack of awareness of school dance program

Picture
 Is there something you have more knowledge or experience with than most people ? 
How could you expand on  that to educate people & advocate for change ? 
​
   Madeline - Issue -  lack of exposure to careers for low income youth 

Picture
​   Alexandra - Issue - lack of understanding of foster care experience

Still stuck ? ​

   Volunteer in your community or for an agency that supports something you care about.  Start to observe ongoing issues that need to be resolved.  
 A good way to start is to ask what kind of things they need more people power to solve  - not supplies they need, funds, things they need replaced, built or refurbished. They may need these things, but those  would fall under the category of community service projects, short term solutions.

More Inspiration!
