For the Unit 5 Discussion Board, you will write and post an essay about civic participation. Propose a community program that you would like to kick start. Choose

something you are passionate about: health care, sports, politics, education, community outreach, crime prevention, beautification, animals, etc. It can be something

you do once or something you do on an ongoing basis.

Your 250 word minimum essay should include:

A brief overview of the community program you would like to kick start.
Proposed budget percentages for your program to help prepare for fundraising (administrative costs, supplies, rent, advertising, etc.).
Proposed number of volunteers needed for your program. Also calculate the percentage of volunteers based on total number of people in the community (number of

volunteers ÷ population of community).
Estimated percentage of people (or animals) in the community that would benefit from the program.
Every piece of writing should have an introduction, body, and conclusion. A good way to plan this particular reflective essay is to write an introduction to the essay.

Next, write at least three body paragraphs. Finish with your conclusion paragraph.
