How to Begin an Outreach Project● Figure out an authentic need in your community
● See what you and your team have the time and resources to do
● Create a plan (including a timeline, budget if needed)
● Contact the necessary people (if you want to volunteer in a school, can contact principal, if you want to do legislative outreach, can talk to your local legislator)
● Execute your project○ Make sure to take photos, write up a summary of what you did
afterward
