In the informative speech, the students talk about their research on the different areas of improvement within the community. Following this speech, the students each choose a nonprofit of their choice and give a persuasive speech as to how the nonprofit is contributing to the area of focus they chose for the informative speech. To get a better sense of the type of work nonprofits do, the students are visiting multiple nonprofits. At the end of the semester, the students vote for one organization to receive the $1000 grant.
