Start a project

A Good Deeds Day project can be anything you may want to do, or any idea you may have that helps others: painting or planting gardens in institutes serving groups with special needs, collecting and serving food for those in need, spending time with hospitalized children or the lonely elderly, holding a special activity for children at risk, and much, much more! Whatever is needed in your community and you feel you can help - it can be done! Make it your own Good Deeds Day project.

So, how can you become part of all this?

The first step is to declare that Good Deeds Day will take place in your community this March 25th, 2012, and then follow these simple guidelines to help you formulate a Good Deeds Day project of your own!

  • >> Relate to a social issue

    Decide what's closest to your heart, in terms of people and volunteering work. Is it working with those that have special needs, such as the hearing impaired? Is it children at risk, or perhaps the elderly, or homeless people?

  • >> Research the needs in your community

    Find out which local organizations serve the social issue that you chose, helping those you found closest to your heart. Research what their needs might be, and what volunteering work with them might require.

  • >> Choose your project

    Keep in mind that Good Deeds Day is a wonderful opportunity to take on projects that cannot be accomplished solely by the organization, inviting a large group of volunteers to take part and apply their unique talents, requiring dedicated materials, etc. You can even decide to take on several projects to occur simultaneously!

  • >> Outline your project

    Figure out what you need to make it happen. For example, to clean the local park youll need gloves, trash bags and a way to dispose of the waste. Appoint a Good Deeds Day project coordinator to organize the volunteers, be in touch with the project venue, supply the necessary materials and be there to help organize the activity on Good Deeds Day.

  • >> Get the necessary materials

    Perhaps not much is needed in terms of materials, with each volunteer bringing one item on the list. Or, it may be that your project is in need of donations. Appeal to local businesses to help out, donate materials, or even hold a fundraising event.
