How To Guide (SOP Development)

This guide provides a detailed framework and protocol for replicating the Memory Canvas Project model. The guide documents the planning, communication, and event structure developed through multiple volunteer sessions and reflection.

​

Within this guide, readers will find step-by-step instructions for organizing events, coordinating with memory-care facilities, recruiting volunteers, and preparing accessible painting activities. The guide also includes lessons learned from early sessions, including adjustments made to improve participation, simplify activities, and create a consistent event structure.

​

The goal of this document is to provide a practical, replicable model that other students, organizations, or National Honor Society chapters can use to develop sustainable programs in memory-care communities.
