Our Goals & Methodology

To develop the guidelines on this site, we conducted interviews with a range of volunteer organizations, workshops about eco-friendly practices, surveys of subject matter experts, and an online working group, including KaBOOM! staff. We reviewed documents, practices, and projects from among:

• Web sites and other online resources
• Books, reference manuals, and other literature
• Information from peer organizations
• Existing KaBOOM! research and feedback
  • Internal working group
  • Review of existing KaBOOM! materials

From these sources, we identified eco-friendly best practices that are applicable to community service projects, and allow for a range of project team skill, experience, and commitment levels.
