This document outlines the requirements and process for student organizations to complete their annual Community Action Project. It details the 6 steps to complete a project, including filling out forms, getting approval, conducting the project, submitting a completion form, and evaluation. It emphasizes that projects should align with and enhance an organization's mission, and provides examples of past successful projects. It also notes important deadlines and available support resources to help organizations through the process.

1. Community Action
Moving Beyond the Requirement

2. The Basics
 All Gold Organizations and
Funded Accounts are
required to complete one
Community Action Project
per academic year.
 All Forms are available on
OrgSync.
 Each Community Action
Project must engage an
external organization or
particular community.
 At least half of your
organization’s members must
be present at the time of
service.
 Step 1: Community Action
Interest Form
 Step 2: Approval
 Step 3: Project Completion
 Step 4: Community Action
Completion Form
 Step 5: Evaluation
 Step 6: Student Leadership
Awards

3. Step 1&2: Community Action Interest Form
and Approval
 Every organization must fill out
a Community Action Interest
Form two weeks prior to the
service being performed or by
November 1st by 5 PM for
review by ASUSF Mission
Committee.
 Forms will be reviewed on a
rolling basis.
 Organizations will receive an
email confirming that their
Community Action Interest
Form has been received.
 https://orgsync.com/1956/form
s/79065
 Once the ASUSF Mission
Committee has reviewed your
Community Action Interest
Form, you will receive an
approval email.
 Once your approval email is
received, your organization
may proceed with your project
and completion process.
 To ensure that all organizations
are doing an equal amount of
work, your approval email may
include suggestions on how to
enhance your Community
Action Project.
 If suggestions are provided in
your email, you must meet with
the VP of Mission before you
proceed.

4. Step 3: Project Completion
 Although the Community
Action Project is a
requirement, the purpose
and benefits span beyond
that.
 We would like every
organization to think about
their Mission and use that to
formulate their Community
Action Project.
 Moving Beyond the
Requirement takes it a step
further and requires us all to
be more thoughtful about
what we do and how.
 For example!
 ASUSF Senate’s Community
Action Project will be focused
around National Voter
Registration day and is in
accordance with our Mission
of advocacy for students.
 Let’s take a look at other
great Community Action
Projects!
 Esther Madriz, PAWS,
Intervarsity Christian
Fellowship, Graphics Center,
and Kasamahan……Great
job!

5. Step 4 & 5: Community Action Completion
Form and Evaluation
 The Community Action
Completion Form must be
completed two weeks after your
service has been performed.
 You will receive an email that it
has been approved and you are
finished!
 This year, Community Action
Projects will be showcased in a
slideshow during the Annual
Student Leadership Awards so
the progress pictures are
especially important (and
required).
 https://orgsync.com/1956/forms/

 The Evaluation process is
something new.
 When you fill out your Community
Action Completion Form, you will
be asked to provide the site
coordinator/supervisor’s email
and phone number.
 Your application is not complete
without that information.
 The site coordinator/supervisor
will be sent and email with a
evaluation form.
 This is to build a network of
community partners for our
students.

6. Step 6: Student Leadership
Awards and Important Dates
 Photos will be compiled
from all Community Action
Projects to showcase all f
your hard work during
Student Leadership Awards.
 Community Action Projects
that are submitted by
Monday, March 3rd by 5 PM
will be considered for an
award recognizing
Excellence in Community
Action.
 Friday, November 1st by 5
PM-All Community Action
Interest Forms Due. (all
approval emails will be sent
out by November 15th)
 Monday, March 3rd by 5
PM- Deadline for Student
Leadership Award
consideration.
 Friday, May 2nd by 5 PM- All
Community Action
Completion Forms due.

7. Consequences
 Failure to complete a Community Action Project
will result in disciplinary action.
 If your organization does not complete a
Community Action Project, your organization will
be required to complete TWO Community
Action Projects for the next academic year.
 If you need help, please ask for it!
 Mission Committee can be reached at
asusfmissioncommittee@gmail.com
 I can be reached at
srosemond@dons.usfca.edu

8. Support
 If you ever need help or ever have any
questions, please let me know!
 PAT and Senate are well aware of all the
Community Action Project Policy, deadlines,
and contact info.
 We are your resource and I want to provide
as much support as possible for
organizations on campus throughout this
process.

9. This involvement not only creates a relationship with the greater San
Francisco/Bay Area, but also enhances the goals and mission of the
participating organizations and fosters the values and sensitivity
necessary to be men and women for others.
