This vision is compared with their own community for strengths and weaknesses. In this Unit, participants are introduced, through a series of activities, to the idea of habit formation. Specific skills are focused on, e.g., listening, observing, and handling challenging situations. As a fundamental component of service, learners uncover and explore what they themselves bring to the service environment, i.e., their own gifts and talents. In examining their own relationship to money, learners can now be introduced to personal giving as a core component of personal philanthropy, and to how giving makes a difference in the lives of others.
Participants use planning skills learned in the program to plan a celebration.
