TAKE ACTION GUIDES

This council has created some wonderful Take Action Guides to be used with the journeys. There are plans and suggestions for each one at every level. Check them out...they are certainly great idea starters and helpful planning guides.

Take Action Sample Activities were designed using the seven components of a successful take action project, and these activities are designed to be completed over multiple meetings.

Sessions and activity plans are only suggestions and are meant to be flexible. Brainstorm and create new ones based on the needs of the community and the interests of all involved.
