Sample Life Map

In the Life Map, you set goals for yourself and think about ways you can achieve those goals. It's a great tool to help you get what you want! Goals are things you want or need that you don't already have.

Set a Goal for "Leading" (SAMPLE)

Here are some goals you might set for yourself in this area of The Community Center, and steps you might take to achieve those goals (the steps are in parenthesis):

  • Get involved in leadership activities in my community (find out what kinds of organizations might be interesting to work with, make a list of things I would like to get involved in, etc.)
  • Volunteer to take the lead on a volunteer project (find out about volunteer opportunities at school and in my community, sign up to be involved, etc.)
  • My ideas?

For more about this section, go to Leading, found in The Community Center.


You cannot save this Life Map. It's just a sample to show you what it would look like if you were in your very own Life Map.

Your Youthhood Guide will be able to read and comment on your Life Map if the last checkbox is selected.

Fields with a red star (*) are required.
