>5-year-olds--
>I would sit down with the 5 year olds on the floor, use props and do some role playing with them. I would also incorporate a children's story that might be pertinent to what I am trying to tell them and then talk about their own experience.

>9-year-olds-- I would do much the same for the 9 year olds but would incorporate a different story with them. At the conclusion of the story I would then have them help to develop a project that they could do to help someone else, senior citizens maybe.

>
>High school freshman-- I would talk with the high school freshman about what they might do during their off hours from school, like volunteering and share with them how precious a few hours of volunteering could be to others.
>
>High school seniors-- For the high school seniors I would also incorporate some of the service learning information, but I would also talk about career choices and how non profit work could make a big difference in their lives and that by volunteering and working with an organization they might find a career that they had not even thought of.
>
>Your own peers in your Rockhurst University class-- I would do as I have been doing, attempt to explain what it is that we do, why it is important, and in some ways provide enough information so that it might guide my fellow students to volunteer for something that they feel passionate about.
