All-Stars Playbook: How to Do a Volunteer Project

The Post-Game Show
Your service project doesn't end when the last volunteer has gone home. There's follow-up work to be done.

Celebration and Recognition. Make sure to celebrate your community service. You can do this through simple thank you calls or notes, or you can plan an event, such as a pizza party to recognize all volunteers. People like to know that what they did was important and helped the community. Be sure to write thank-you notes to the people and businesses who contributed cash or made other donations.

Reflection and Evaluation. It's also important to understand what you did through your service, both for yourself and for your community. Think about what you learned about the issue. For instance, has your attitude about homelessness changed after working in a soup kitchen? What did you learn about yourself? Did you know you could teach before tutoring a younger child?

Congratulations! Once you've completed your project you are a Disney Adventures All-Star. Thank you for helping to make your community a better place and remember - once you're a volunteer, you're part of a team that always wins.
