The development of young people is the mission of the student council. The projects described in this booklet are intended as resources for council development and can be modified to suit individual school programs. Many of the projects are presented in detail to emphasize opportunities for the involvement of many students and to focus on the necessary planning involved. Among the projects suggested are teacher and course evaluation, school board representation, building improvement, vandalism prevention, homecoming activities, volunteer programs, special emphasis days or weeks, and fund-raising activities. Checklists, sample letters, release of liability forms, and worksheets are included. (MLF)
