Point of the Game: Organized Service Projects are the planned expressions of compassion that address the needs of a community.

Service Projects are a primary force of good in the Compassion Games, the effects of which ripple out to communities everywhere by inspiring us all what is possible when we come together to bring compassion to life.
Rules of the Game: Service Project are usually organized by Teams, although individual Players can join
or organize a service project in their community.
Each project should have a title and description, as well as a primary contact and project lead. These will be used to post your incredible work on the Compassion Report Map to share and celebrate with others!
Rules of Strategy: Organize a service project that resonates with all members involved!
