Why fill out a Partnership Plan?
How do I get my church / organization/ business involved?
Southern California churches, businesses, and civic agencies have been serving their communities for years. The Season of Service is a historic partnership of these entities to serve at the same time through a season to show their neighbors an unprecedented display of love.
Partnership projects and volunteer opportunities for the Season of Service must meet a tangible need in the community. Projects are for the purpose of improving the life of another person or group of people in a physical or emotional way as a service project.
San Diego CityFest, the Season of Service, and the Luis Palau Association do not allow opportunities to be posted that are primarily focused on fundraising, public and private advocacy for or demonstrations against specific moral and/or religious political positions, organizations, political parties and/or political candidates. Posted projects of this nature will be flagged as inappropriate and removed.
San Diego CityFest has several Season of Service project impact areas. They’ll get you thinking creatively about where and how you can serve.
For more information on these specific areas download the SOS Emphasis Sheet.
Filling out a Partnership Plan allows all of Southern California to see how your church or organization is serving our community through the Season of Service. It also offers a simple way for people to contact you if they want to get involved.
With your Plan, you:
• Provide crucial information to your project volunteers (date, location, time, etc.)
• Publicize your project for FREE
• Recruit even more volunteers without lifting a finger (until the project itself, of course).
