Session Outline:
This session will enable the trainer to provide guidelines for the attendees to follow in order to perform successful community service projects in their local Lodges.
Trainer Preparation:
The trainer will need to review the Order of the Arrow Lodge Community Service Guide for correct ways to select, staff, perform, and evaluate community service projects in their Lodge. Another good source for the trainer is to access local organizations that serve multiple areas based on manpower, hours available, and ability to complete a project.
