Last Week’s Commitments

1. Identify resources daily.

2. Make contacts daily.

3. Contact and support my action partner.

4. Practice and share today’s My Foundation principle.

5. Practice job search skills.

Step 1: Self-Evaluate (5 minutes)

Use the “Evaluating My Efforts” chart on pages ii–iii to review your commitments from the last meeting. First, write in the actual number of resources you found and contacts you made. Then individually evaluate your effort to keep each commitment by marking red, yellow, or green.

Step 2: Share with The Group (10 minutes)

Each of you report how you did with your commitments by sharing your goals and actual numbers, and by stating “red,” “yellow,” or “green” for your effort. Share what went well and how Heavenly Father helped you.

Step 3: Choose Action Partners (2 minutes)

Choose an action partner from the group for this coming week. Generally, action partners are of the same gender and are not family members.

Take a couple of minutes now to meet with your action partner. Introduce yourselves and discuss how you will contact each other throughout the week.
