Chapter 10 Product, Price, and Place
Community Service
Project
Many competitive events for Career and
Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) student
organization competitions offer events that include a community service
project. This project is usually carried out by the entire CTSO chapter and
will take several months to complete. There will be two parts of the event—
written and oral. The chapter will designate several members to represent
the team at the competitive event.
To prepare for this event, complete the following activities.
1. Read the guidelines provided by your organization. Make certain
that you ask any questions about points you do not understand.
It is important you follow each specific item that is outlined in the
competition rules.
2. Contact the association immediately at the end of the state conference
to prepare for next year’s event.
3. As a team, select a theme for your chapter’s community service project.
4. Decide which roles are needed for the team. There may be one person
who is the captain, one person who is the secretary, and any other
roles that will be necessary to create the plan. Ask your instructor for
guidance in assigning roles to team members.
5. Study chapter 3.
6. Identify your target audience, which may include business, school, and
community groups.
7. Brainstorm with members of your chapters. List the benefits and
opportunities of supporting a community service project.
8. This project will probably span the school year. During regular chapter
meetings, create a draft of the report based on direction from the CTSO.
Write and refine drafts until the final report is finished.
