• Take a teenager to coffee and ask him/her what their dreams are to change the world.

• Do monthly community cleaning and trash pickups, prepare dinners for local homeless shelter or arrange weekly visits to retirement homes.

• Encourage business leaders to mentor students who want to develop social service projects.

• Ask other ministries in the church if students can serve in their ministry, and make sure the responsibility is real.

• Train adult leaders to apprentice kids and students in specific areas of ministry.

• Expect students to attend leadership training for their area of service, not just student-oriented leader meetings.

• Allow students to serve the needs of the adults in the church congregation.  (i.e. mow lawns, babysit, landscape, and help move.)
