Many people think they can't make a difference in the world. However, it doesn't matter who you are. Tall or short, male or female, old or young, everyone has the power to make a difference and here is how you can get started.

Step 1:

Get a group together who wants to help. Whether friends at school, family, or neighbors; there is power in numbers.

Step 2:

Choose a cause you want to support. Make sure it is something you are passionate about and interested in.

Step 3:

Plan it out.
-Set a goal you want to achieve to help your organization.
-Organize convenient times and places to give. (You can give money, supplies, time, help, or even a card!)

Step 4:

Raise awareness.
-Create fliers and pamphlets. Post and distribute them at your school, neighborhood, or other places you go.
-Make frequent announcements and updates.
-Motivate the public.

Step 5:

Now comes the great part...
-Go to your organization and help them, give them what you made, or donate what you collected.

Step 6:

What I made...
Ultimately, I made a lasting difference in my school and community.

How I made it...
A group of friends and I decided to unite together to make change. We started a service club that holds meetings, conducts fundraisers, organizes volunteer efforts, and gives to others.

Where I made it...
Our service club meets at my school. However, we also go places to help those outside of school.

What I learned...
The hardest part of starting this project was putting my own wants aside and helping others. The biggest thing I have learned is that their is nothing more rewarding than putting a smile on someone's face!
