Establish a community employment service to assist recent graduates and other job seekers. Through this type of project, you can offer services such as job search materials, basic training courses and interview and resume workshops. Create partnerships with local businesses throughout the community to help potential employees find employers. Provide workshops to teach the tools needed for success of employees in various positions, such as computer skills courses. Including these ideas in your project makes your community members more employable.
Create a project that works to provide basic education courses to community members. These people may be looking to review their education, pursue their GED degree or seek acceptance into a university. Offer courses in reading, writing, computer skills and math. Consider adding language courses based on the needs of your community, such as English or Spanish classes. Design workshops to address continuing education application procedures. Bridge the achievement gaps in your community through education projects.
Environmental conservation is a learning project the entire community can participate in. Implement recycling programs, plant gardens and work to preserve land for everyone to enjoy. Encouraging environmental learning promotes green, or environmentally friendly, communities, helping to preserve our resources for generations to come. Develop partnerships with schools to get students involved in these projects to inspire involvement at a young age.
Design financial help projects to provide community learning about productive financial methods. Providing learning workshops for people to get basic financial tools can improve the economic standing of community members and build a stronger economy within the community. Consider implementing programs that address home mortgages, automobile and student loans, debt, foreclosures and saving for retirement. Address these issues through courses, guest lecturers and workshops.
