Service Ideas:
While fundraisers are extremely important for the charities they support, it is also great to be able to directly help with service projects. Here are two great virtual service project opportunities:
Color-A-Smile
Tutor Children
This organization seeks to bring smiles to people’s faces through artwork. People of all talent abilities can help by drawing free-art pictures or coloring in designed pages. Once the art is complete, you can send it to Color-A-Smile and it will be distributed to seniors in assisted living facilities or military personnel abroad.
The return to school offers new avenues for service projects. One school-oriented service project idea is to tutor younger students in your district. Your Key Club can set up a virtual tutoring service (using platforms like Zoom, Google Meets, and Microsoft Teams) to help elementary and middle school students keep up academically and provide them with support that may be lacking in online school.
Full instructions and submission info are located on the organization’s website: https://colorasmile.org/
Make sure that your school district’s administration approves your tutoring service; cooperation with other organizations in your school, like National Honor Society, can facilitate this approval. By tutoring local students, you have an immediate positive impact on your local community.
