Young people evaluate the use of their time, talent and treasure by choosing activities to fill a typical day. They will be expected to take a look at the benefits and opportunity costs involved in sacrificing personal time for the common good of their community.
Youth make a chart of how they typically spend a free day and then envision what that same free day would look like when it is infused with philanthropy. They plan a free day, substituting their usual routine with activities that serve the community. They discuss the benefits and opportunity costs involved in sacrificing personal time for the common good of their community.
