WHAT IS AN ACTION PLAN?
One of the many goals of Sc3 is to stimulate and enable effective commitments to action. While at Sc3, students are asked to create the framework for their Action Plan, or AP, (an action-based, year-long project) that addresses an environmental or ecological challenge they see in their school, home or community.
Fellows use the Action Plan Toolkit based off of the GSA’s 21 Resource Groups as well as assess their project feasibility using S.M.A.R.T (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timeline) to Design, Develop and Deliver a concrete and well thought out project.
Plans can be small or large, local or global... from creating an e-waste drive to transforming an urban lot into a wildlife habitat, to launching an educational campaign or lobbying for reform on state policies.
For another look at what APs are, visit Sc3’s Action Plans page.

WHAT IS THE ACTION PLAN TOOLKIT?
The purpose of this toolkit is to help students get started on Designing, Developing, and Delivering their APs, and/or to help those who may be having a hard time thinking of ideas. Understanding the breadth of work it takes to implement a successful AP and being realistic is key! As a general overview, below are the core steps to completing your AP.
