CASA volunteers – with it being a #newyear, it's a good time to set goals and make #resolutions with your youth. One way to do this is by making a #visionboard! 🌟
#goals #goalsetting #creativity #lifeskills #resolutions #newyearnewme #casadc #casa #fosteryouth #fostercare
Some topics to consider:
-How do I see myself?
-I feel most confident when…
-What do I want to achieve this year?
-Where would I like to go in the #future?
-What keeps me motivated?
-My ideal self is…(looks like, sounds like, acts like)
#goals #goalsetting #visionboard
Goals can be centered around hobbies, interests, academics, family, health, and more. Have fun with it! Get creative! And let us know how it goes 😄
