Planning a week of service with a youth group

A youth mission trip needs job sites, drivers, money and a signed form for every student before the buses leave. Here the trip is one project: the job sites on a board, scouting photos, the forms and packing list, and four lists on the progress chart.

The Carrow Rebuild Week project in Thicket over a photograph of a river valley at dawn: the health flag reading At risk, the trip's dates and six people, then six cards: the Message Board with the tetanus dates on top, To-dos with four lists on the progress chart, the Job sites board with cards in Scoping, Waiting on inspection and Ready for a crew, Scouting trip as nine photographs of the flooded town and its houses, Forms and plans with the crews, the medical forms and the packing list, and the Leaders' check-in with this week's answers.

Wabash Avenue Presbyterian's youth leaders post the plan and each week's news on the Message Board and track job sites, travel, forms and fundraising as four lists in To-dos. Each house moves from a request to ready for a crew on Boards, the scouting photos, crews, forms and packing list sit in Docs & Files, and the leaders answer one question a week in Check-ins.
