Service Project Ideas

Make a Donation of Needed Items
Ask people you know to donate new blankets, stuffed animals and other comfort items to support youth who don't have a permanent home.

Start a Fundraiser
Fundraise in honor of an event in your life (like a bat/bar mitzvah, quinceañera, or other meaningful event).

Hold a Letter Writing Party
With your friends, write holiday cards to youth in our programs. Include encouraging messages, drawings and holiday wishes.

Choose Us for Your Girl Scout Project
Complete a badge requirement or achieve one of your higher awards! Some ideas: make a permanent change for SDYS (ex: plant something or install something), educate and inspire others to be part of the change (ex: create an awareness poster campaign for SDYS or workshop) or design another project that inspires you!
