How do you get started?
Obtain the Red Cross Community Challenge Resource Kit. (See contact information.)
Get together a group of 4-6 students.
Find a mentor, for example a teacher, to act as a guide.
Decide on a project.
Allow 4 to 6 weeks to get organised and complete the project.
The resource kit will guide your group through what to do. The worksheets will help you with the steps involved in making a project happen. It will also give you some project ideas.
