Social Cause has been identified

Research 4 to 5 agencies supporting the social cause of choice. Why do we encourage researching more than 1? Questions to consider when looking for an agency - What is the student looking for in an agency? How do they wish to have their $1,000 used? Large organization or Smaller Are they able to volunteer or visit the Non-Profit? Does this impact their decision * Remember there is no right or wrong approach to this - EMPOWER YOUR STUDENTS
