SERVE.

REGISTER A SERVICE PROJECT

Design a meaningful service project with and for students to bring to YMD 2024. Projects don’t need to be elaborate. Past projects included: making fleece blankets for animal shelters, teaching Zumba to help students gain healthier habits, recording funny jokes to be shared with local senior living communities, designing personalized cookbooks with healthy recipes for families, creating ocean art to gain a greater understanding of our impact on the oceans and much, much more.

Projects are placed into one of five themed stations:

  • Education Matters – projects focus on promoting new and fun ways to learn

  • Health Matters – projects focus on fostering healthier habits

  • Community Matters – projects focus on helping members of our community feel a sense of connection and belonging

  • Family Matters – projects focus on activities that strengthen family connections

  • Kindness Matters – projects focus on how we can show care for ourselves and the people around us.

Supplies and materials for your projects will be provided by your program site or our You Matter Day organizers. You may also want to out to our community to request for donations. For example, have students design a donation request letter to local dentist offices to see if they’d like to contribute supplies for hygiene kits for shelters.

YMD Service Projects are approximately 30 minutes in length.Students rotate through service projects. Service projects happen concurrently. So a lot of good is happening at You Matter Day.

Help us create a phenomenal day of giving for our students, families and community.

Contact Jaz Perkins for questions or additional help with your service project - jperkins@fcoe.org or 559-443-4844.

VERY IMPORTANT: Even if you have registered a service project with Jaz, you still need to RSVP for all of your students and staff that are coming to the event. Please do so on the “Bring Your Students” page.
