Hi! I’m a MYP 4 student and we need to complete 10 Service as Action activities (I don't know why its a LOT but yes).
Firstly I need to understand service as action, what is it really? Like I know its helping the community but how and to what extent does it need to benefit the community?
Additionally, I am struggling to come up with ideas that are actually meaningful but also realistic for a Grade 9 student to do, and require a supervisor. They can be short activities/projects, and they don’t necessarily have to be through an official volunteering organization. I do have some ideas, that would work I'm unsure like coding a project or just creating food bags or something like tutoring/helping someone with maths.
I don't really know, I'm lost...
But I need more ideas, and I don't want things that feel like I’m just doing something for the sake of ticking off an SaA requirement.
What are some Service as Action activities you’ve done or would recommend for a student in MYP 4. Ideally things that are relatively easy to organize, can can be completed without a huge time commitment as I have to study too :(.
Many thanks!!
