Use Your Spark as a Catalyst for GYSD

by co9to25

Giving back to help others feels good. Giving back while also doing something you’re passionate about feels even better. Finding your passions, talents, or interests - or ‘sparks’ - and connecting it with a volunteer project can catalyze meaningful, impactful service. Search Institute research shows that kids who thrive have two important supports: knowledge of what their sparks are and adults who support the development of those sparks. Common passions include:

Creative Arts (music, art, writing, dance, cooking)
Sports (football, track and field, golf, ice skating)
Learning (languages, science, math)
Reading
Spirituality, religion
Nature, the environment
Animal welfare (pets or wild animals)
Tutoring/mentoring younger children

To identify your spark and use it to fuel your GYSD project planning, download YSA’s Mission Planning Guide. www.YSA.org/mission
