What are you motivations?

What do you hope to gain from this experience?

What do you have to offer?

What do you hope to achieve?

Are there particular social issues that you would like to address?

Are there particular kinds of people, age groups or communities you would like to work with?

How much do you already know about the issue or constituency?

Would you like to continue a past interest or pursue new experiences?

Are you interested in direct work with people, or would you rather do administrative research or policy work?

How can you connect your community experiences with your academic and professional goals?

What kind of work would challenge you the most?

How much time do you realistically have?
