What is the Governor’s Project?
“Every year, the District Governor has the ability to choose an initiative to focus the District’s attention towards. This year, District Governor Dylan Caraballo, has chosen Youth Homelessness as the Governor’s Project throughout the 2025–2026 service year! The club with the best Governor’s Project service event will be awarded at the 2025 District Convention at the service years’ end.”
Projects that would contribute to this initiative!
While every club has the freedom to do what project, the District is providing a few examples of what would contribute towards the Governor’s Project for this year:
- Host a “Peanut Butter & Jelly Making” service day with your club! Invite other CKI clubs or on-campus clubs and make sandwiches to donate to a local organization helping homeless youth.
- Organize a clothing and/or a blanket drive! Set up a collection period for your club and a convenient spot on campus and encourage people to donate new/gently used clothing and/or blankets.
- Have a “Blessing Bag” party! Rent a space on campus and fill bags with items like granola bars, deodorant sticks, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc.
- Arrange a school backpack drive! Similar to collecting clothing or blankets, set up a collection period and a convenient spot on campus and encourage people to donate. Take any donations to a local organization that supports our initiative.
- Plan a blanket making service project during your general meeting! Have individuals form groups of 3-4, cut the edges and tie the blanket up to form blankets for newborns. Donate them to a local organization that is supporting NJ CKI’s initative.
