Advice on improving my school?

Question

I recently became a Student Senator at my local community college. As part of the senator requirement, I must take part in a "Senator Project," in which the board member organizes or plays a role in an activity that improves the school. For example, one of the groups has tried to enforce a "25 foot from the building rule" for smokers, or tried to setup other alternatives for our smoking classmates. Other students used funding to buy sports equipment such as wiffleballs and flag football in the yard that students could rent out with their school ID.

Does anyone have a general idea that I can try to work on for my school? I'm not asking it specifically for my college because I feel that all schools share some of the same essential problems.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

In general, you can put together a student-led community volunteer program to help the school with various projects. There are so many different activities that can help you with school and surrounding community improvements:

Many schools are non-profit organizations also. To that end, you might have additional resources from your local volunteer centers to help you put together projects, and help recruit volunteers from the local community as well.

The Points of Light Foundation has a great curriculum that helps you put together volunteer programs, projects, and have the volunteer management resources:
