Wk 11 Discussion

Develop and post a personal mission statement that applies to your vision for service and social change in public policy and administration or a nonprofit organization or in your particular discipline. Explain your purpose, objectives, and ethical commitment in this statement, in addition to the essential strategies for fulfilling your mission.

In 23 paragraphs:

• State your personal mission. What do you want your life to be about, and what do you intend to pursue above all other things? How does your personal mission statement contribute to positive social change?
• Describe the elements that you need to accomplish your mission. What relationships, networking, education, and living situation do you need?
• Identify the governing ethical commitment(s) and decisions that you will apply to fulfill your mission.

Note: you may find that articulating such a statement is far more challenging than it may appear initially!
