Visualize your goals so you have a clear picture of what success looks like.

What do you most enjoy doing?

If you could solve a world problem, what would it be?
Do you have a specific problem/issue you’d like to address?
What is it that you really want to be and do?
What are you doing really well that is helping you get there?
What are you not doing well that is preventing you from getting there?
What will you do differently tomorrow to meet those challenges?
How can I help / where do you need the most help?
What are your current resources and what skill do you want to pick up?
What are your personal weaknesses?
What character traits do you want to develop?

IMPACT:  10 ways youth can make an impact
 
Youth activism, engagement and projects can bring about important social changes that are sometimes left behind. You don’t have to wait to be an adult to create change. Your opinion matters and it should be heard.
 
Here’s a list of ideas of how you can participate locally and globally:
 
Know your rights:  All children and youth hold national and international rights. These rights are only of use to you if you are informed about them, so read up on them!
 
Learn about local issues: Is a roadblock affecting your commute to school? Are the new taxes affecting your family’s livelihood? Whatever the case, learning the issue will help in creating solutions that will have an impact on you.
 
Speak out: Speaking your mind online (through social media), and/or offline (at local meetings and gatherings) helps you assert yourself and your interests. Also, you never know who might be listening. Think before posting. Social media has a long memory and things can never truly be deleted.
 
Network: There are many inspiring youth like you around the world. Reach out to them. Learn about their efforts and initiatives, they might also work for you!
 
Spread the word: Spread the word! Talk to friends and family. If there are important issues that are going unaddressed, become the person who addresses them.  You are part of a community, and have the power to educate and influence those around you.
 
Join online campaigns or create your own: Is there an issue you are concerned about? Global campaigns are always happening. Find one that corresponds to your issue, join in, and implement the campaign locally.  Or create your own!
 
Host a youth summit: Learn and share your perspectives and views with peers as well as decision-makers. Schools and local organizations can be of great support to you in trying to create a forum for the exchange of ideas. Bring together different communities and understand what you have in common, as well as your differences in interests and perspectives.
 
Use your creativity: Photography, arts and crafts, dance, theatre, sports, street art. Almost anything can be turned into an activist project. What are you good at? Translate it into civic activism!
 
Join/create a youth organization: Youth organizations are great places to expand your knowledge and become an active member of your society. If your community doesn’t have an organization representing youth, create one. Be the trendsetter!
 
Be an inspiration: Believe in yourself, and follow your passion.
 
GOALS:  Goal Identification
 
It is essential that you be able to set realistic goals. Understanding and using the principles of goal setting will help you.
 
The key steps in the goal identification process:
 
  • Review or develop a personal mission statement. 


  • Establish specific and realistic goals. (SMART)


  • Set deadlines. 

  • Develop an action plan.
  • Review goals from time to time; revise as necessary.
