Voluntary Public Service is meant to provide opportunities for you to dive into your community with
hands-on volunteer experiences. This requires sensitivity, assessment of needs, and determination.

Activities for physical fitness should occur outside of a participant’s regular routine. For example, if a participant walks to school, they may not count that as a goal.

Personal Development is a chance for you to explore a new interest or work to improve your skills in an
existing hobby.
Expedition & Exploration

An Expedition or Exploration should be a new, unique experience. Your trip should require a level of immersion that enables you to leave your comfort zone or daily routine and discover the unfamiliar.
