STATE PROJECT
The N in NHS
As a national Leadership and
service organization, FCNHS has a responsibility to advance the work of the NHS.
My state service project, targeting voter education and registration, is aimed
at addressing the most basic principal of good American citizenry: participation
in our democratic society.
Low Stress, Big Results
Sensitive to the
fact that our Florida NHS chapters have different means and levels of membership
requirements, Promote the Vote provides an important service while being
flexible, inexpensive and relatively easy to perform. It allows everyone the
opportunity to lead and contribute, thus maximizing chapter involvement and
impact.
Voter education and registration encompasses various aspects of the voting
process, and can be interpreted in many different ways. Chapters are encouraged
to use their own unique creativity and leadership to design service projects
based on the state them, yet tailored to their communities’ needs and respecting
what is feasible for their members to accomplish.
The result will be high impact, statewide project to assist current and
future voters in becoming educated and responsible voters, that will have
resoundingly positive effects throughout our world, nation, capital, cities and
lives.
Oh, the Possibilities!
Here are just a
few service projects FCNHS chapters can accomplish under the theme:
