• Complete at least 1 new project with each of our sponsored Service Leadership Program (SLP) clubs
• Recruit 1 new partner to fill a newly-identified community need
• Engage our grant recipients in a two-way partnership after awarding their funding (such as inviting them to participate in a service project)
• Develop and implement a project that is specific to the Ellicott City community
• Complete a community needs assessment
