Lifeworks: Global Service Learning Program for Teens 2008
Lifeworks is about people, the people with whom we interact, as we as those f us who select to add our hands to the Lifeworks line and pull together as a team. Just by taking part in a Lifeworks project, you can further identify and actualize your potential as you make your difference count in a positive way. By working in community with others, we are able to impact and leave an imprint on three interrelated levels:
-Human: One-on-one interactions while working toward a common goal, building understanding and camaraderie, person by person.
-Community: Working in community is working together to achieve results that go beyond what a single person might accomplish individually. Positive efforts inspire community growth because good works can be contagious.
-Global: It has been said that small acts of kindness can ultimately have an impact on a global level.
We couple the work we do with the Lifeworks Forum offered at various times during the program, focusing our group discussions on subjects that allow participants to share their own unique life perspectives and pick up what is useful from the experience of others as well.
Lifework enables each of us to take what we learn and, in small ways each day, spread our legacy through the works we offer to assist others. It’s our way to pay it forward.
