Think back over your life and the things that mattered to you enough that you supported the cause.

• Have you ever joined a protest march? Did you protest the Vietnam war? Against police violence such as the March on Washington, Rodney King protests or Black Lives Matter?
• Have you participated in events to raise funds for causes, for example, the Ice Bucket Challenge, March of Dimes, Race for the Cure, Big Brothers?
• Did you ever volunteer for the Peace Core, American Red Cross, a local food pantry or a volunteer fire department? Lead a Girl or Boy Scout Troop or Camp Fire USA group?
• What rewards did you find in the work? Would you do it again? Recommend serving as a volunteer to others?
• Have you been active in political party activities? Have you gone door to door for a candidate or collected signatures for a recall election? Attended a convention?
• Did you ever serve in an elected office? A city counsel or assembly, a school or hospital board? Was it rewarding or frustrating? What is something you accomplished or failed to accomplish when in an elected position.?
