The Kid's Guide to Service Projects: Over 500 Service Ideas for Young People Who Want to Make a Difference

I teach 4th grade in the City of Chicago. This book served as a guide for a service learning project with the class. It is full of marvelous ideas for younger students and older (high school) students who might be struggling to find an idea. There are plenty of references and contacts, so that the learner can easily find more information. I would absolutely recommend this book for anyone who has ever thought about including service learning in their home, school, or personal lives!

Simple, easy to use. Great ideas, perfect for facilitator, teachers, counselors...and even for the students themselves. I can had this to them and KNOW they will find something great to work on.

It is age appropriate. I think the ideas are really helpful. I loved the WHY you should do it and the how to section. I believe it is imperative we teach our kids to be good citizens. I believe it is never to early to pay it forward and volunteer. We are creating the leaders of the future and this book starts the process.

I wish that someone would have written this book when I was a young Girl Scout, but alas no one did and we had to come up with our own service projects to do in the community. But this book is here to help those women and men that now have troops and don't have time to come up with projects for girls to do, its not that they are lazy its just that girls aren't allowed to use their brains for anything that would be worthwhile for the community, BUT still a good book to have in your troop box.

Not a bad book. Good ideas. Some repetition.

I bought this book to use as a reference for my Girl Scout troop this year. After going through it and seeing all it has to offer, I am so excited that I got this book! My girls are going to love it! It was well written and the service projects are perfect for kids of all ages.

Teaching middle school children in a school that encourages community service, this book is great. I have several ideas of projects that can easily be implemented in our community.

This book has so many ideas for projects to be used with the youth anticipating to work with. I believe it will motivate them to be change makers in their right.
