Youth & Teen Service Projects to
Support SCOPE

Looking for a fun and meaningful community service project to celebrate a milestone (ie Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Communion, Birthday, Graduation)? You’ve landed in the right place! Combine a love of camp with a project, event, or initiative to help support SCOPE. This page acts as inspiration, a resource, and encouragement to create, run, and complete an impactful gives-back project for young philanthropists to do something meaningful while making camp accessible for children whose families otherwise could not afford it.  
 

Your 4 Steps to a Successful Service Project

Step 1: Preparation

Here are some things to think about to help you get started:

  • Does your project have a start and end date?
  • Does your project have any goals (participation, monetary, etc.)?
Past youth service projects have included:

  • Bake Sale
  • Fitness class
  • Make any activity a-thon
  • Supply drive
  • Dine & Donate at your favorite restaurant
  • Or any other ideas you have

Step 2: Create a Fundraising Page

Follow these simple and fun, step-by-step instructions to create your very own Just Giving webpage and start supporting SCOPE and the children we help to serve, today!

  • Step 3: Fill out your information and click ‘Sign up’
  • Step 4: Create your profile and click ‘Continue’
  • Step 5: Create your page type by clicking ‘Doing your own thing’
  • Step 6: Fill out your page details and click ‘Create your page’- if you do not know what your event is yes, choose ‘Something else’ for event type
  • Step 7: Name your page “First Name Last Name Fundraising Event”

Your Fundraising Page is set up and ready to accept donations! The money that you raise will be sent directly to SCOPE. Now you can start on the fun stuff – personalizing your page and sharing it with friends and family.

    • Edit your fundraising target/goal ($1,500 send a child to camp for two weeks in the Northeast;
      $750 send a child to camp for two weeks in the Midwest, Southeast, and Southwest)
    • Add photos: Those who add a photo to their page tend to raise 14% more!
    • Kick off your fundraising by making the first donation.
