Planning together as an entire student group will allow you and your members to be supportive, take responsibility, and have ownership while gathering a variety of valuable perspectives.

2. Choose as a group the goals from the list you want to tackle
3. Prioritize the goals
4. Determine a plan of action for each goal
5. Follow through and evaluate
