Service Steps To Take To Get Involved in SERVICE!

1. Think about what you are doing NOW and Keep Track

For Example……………
• Are you volunteering at your elementary school as a coach, a tutor?
• Do you help out at your faith community (at community events or religious services)?
• Has your family volunteered together at a shelter or a soup kitchen?

These are all examples of Support Service—a great way to be involved and volunteer activities that you should verify. Let the CSP Office know by keeping your verification up to date.

Turn in Service Verification forms in a timely manner

2. Start Thinking about CORE service
• What issues are important to you?
• What are you good at, do you like to do?
• When can you volunteer??

Come into the CSP office and Use our Materials:
Student Questionnaire, County Agency Brochures, Our Agency Binder ---all are helpful to figure out what you think about core service and what kind of core service may be good for you!

3. Choose a Core Service site
• Select 2-3 agencies that interest you
• Call their Volunteer Coordinator to see if they currently need volunteers (set up an interview, if needed)
• Plan a start date for volunteering with the agency
  
  
4. Register with the CSP and get a journal
• Get a registration form from the CSP, complete the form (including questions and parent signature)
• Turn in registration form for approval and get Journal!
• Remember to make note of the Journal's due date!


5. Enjoy your Core Service—remember to reflect regularly and complete the journal
   
   
6. Verify your service with the CSP (through SI’s Service Verification Form or documentation on agency letterhead) and Turn in Your Journal in a Timely Manner.
