Strategic Community Action Plan Project
(50 points)
Assignment: Strategic Community Action Plan
Your Strategic Community Action Plan (S.C.A.P.) will address a specific problem in a community. For example: violence, drugs, bullying, racism, obesity and failing education systems, just to name a few. The problem you decide to take on should somehow affect a large group of people such as a community. Examples of topics to stay away from are homelessness, individuals with psychological issues, these issues are too broad and are clearly two sided such as abortion and religious freedoms. Your program must encourage people, and inspire them to overcome the issue, much like the violence interrupters did in the film. You must also address the needs of the community.
Things to consider: A Prevention Program offers:
Conflict Resolution
Intervention
Mediation
Support: emotional, spiritual etc.
Mentorship
Advocacy
Also creates dialog, raises awareness, inspires social change, offers resources
*You may NOT use homelessness as your strategic community action plan****
