Projects:
Your project should have realistic goals as to how you plan to make the most powerful, realistic impact in your community. Posting a blog entry isn’t enough, Facebook links and photo albums aren’t enough, a few tweets aren’t enough. You will need a solid plan for your project with a timeline, goals, deadlines, collaborates, desired outcome, etc. (remember: KISS)

Examples of ways to Engage!
Write a series of articles for your local newspaper.
Give a presentation at (ex.) an Ignite or Slideluck Potshow event or other conference/non-conferences.
Create a campaign by engaging your local community to support the efforts of the NGO we visit. Campaign can be to send 50 children to school for a year through your church- even better, make it an annual goal.
Create an online fundraiser to purchase the construction of a health clinic with the NGO, get credit at your university, work it into your major… there are unlimited possibilities.

Get out of your comfort zone, reach out, speak up, engage, inspire, cause change and have an impact. Make the most of your SalaamGarage experience by sharing with and engaging your community. It’s all about what you can do, and you can do a lot!
