These four projects cover the community from childhood to the elderly people of all ages, but also include the main social welfare activities for the service targets and social workers to provide support, the four series of each has its own main theme characteristics, but also in the participating crowd, activity content and social organization arrangements have intersected, targeted in the development of activities to allocate social organization resources, so that the activities of each community flourished.
Do spiritual massage with "public welfare to help the elderly"
After entering the holidays, the elderly take on more of the "heavy responsibility" of caring for their middle-school children. This makes it indispensable for children to organize public welfare activities for the elderly. In order to provide a chance for the elderly to relax and unwind, the New Haiyang Community in Baishi Street held an event to make handmade soap. The activity is participated by the elderly and the children who have a winter vacation at home, everyone sits around the circular conference table to learn the history of soap, the children make handmade soap under the guidance of the social worker teacher, and the elderly eat fruit while chatting with each other, everyone has fun and fun. But relaxation is not the whole purpose of the activity, while waiting for the soap to solidify the time, the social work teacher led the children to make hand masks for the elderly. The children personally applied thick hand cream and gloves to their grandmothers and grandmothers, and the interactive and novel atmosphere made the activity room lively for a while. An old aunt grabbed the left hand in the hands of a child to massage, the right hand was also carefully applied by a child hand cream, the facial features stretched and smiled, when asked by the social work teacher about the feelings, she smiled and said that she felt very good and was very happy. A child who participated in the activity said that grandma's hands were very rough, and grandma was very hard, and wanted to make a hand mask for grandma in the future.

Just as the purpose of the "Red Sail" project is transmitted and adhered to, public welfare activities should not only focus on material relief, but also pay attention to spiritual support at a time when there is generally enough to eat and wear. On the one hand, the handmade soap making activities start from the actual needs, understand the hardships of the elderly with children, and provide them with opportunities to relax; on the other hand, with the purpose of spiritual comfort, let the elderly feel the care from children in the interaction with children, and realize emotional support. The projection of the "Red Sail Ageing" project to different periods and different groups of people is a specific analysis of specific problems, so as to provide spiritual relaxation and comfort for the elderly with public welfare assistance.
With "public welfare and love for children" as the spirit of shaping
Director Wang Yongmei of the Nanyao community said in his speech at the opening ceremony that the purpose of running the camp is to cultivate the patriotic feelings of children and young people, the ability to get along with others and the courage to face setbacks.
Children from the Nam Yao community participate in the military activity camp of the general soldiers
There are two main contents of the military activity camp: lectures on national defense knowledge and military training. Lectures on national defense knowledge teach national defense and security knowledge such as ordnance, military ranks, and national borders; military training teaches and corrects specific actions such as military appearance and standing posture. Two hours after the first training session, the trainees who initially had the problem of habitually carrying their hands no longer had their backs when standing in the military posture; the trainees who habitually jumped on two legs when straddling learned the correct movement of not moving their right feet and straddling their left feet; the students who wore crooked hats not only straightened the brim of their hats, but also tucked into their belts, standing upright in rows, straight as loose. At the end of the event, parents will be amazed at how the children have changed over the past few days.
Public welfare projects for children and young people are more spiritually cultivated and shaped through the organization of cultural and sports activities, while the definition of qualities and spirits such as perseverance, restraint and courage in Chinese civilization comes from the details and persistence of all behavioral activities. As a public welfare project, the starting point of the military activity camp is to provide children and young people with an opportunity to increase their knowledge, and the foothold is to cultivate and shape the formed personality through the continuous adjustment of details and the repeated emphasis on the rules, rather than just providing a place for students who lack companionship during the winter vacation. "Loving children" is an indispensable top priority of the "Red Sail" project, and children are the future of the country. What children really need, how to cultivate and shape children spiritually, not just materially, is the methodological and practical basis that "Red Sail Yixin" should and has been exploring and following when organizing service work.
Use "public welfare party building" to do policy propaganda
Eating Laba porridge is the first ceremony to welcome the New Year in the Waxing Moon, the West Fortress community in Tongshen Street invited retired old party members and comrades in the community to participate in the traditional cultural experience activities of the Lapa Festival on the day of the Lapa Festival, and popularized the policies on epidemic prevention and garbage classification by encouraging participation in knowledge quiz to exchange ingredients for The new crown epidemic prevention and garbage classification, so as to imperceptibly let the old party members and comrades with an average age of 70 or 80 years old receive training and popularization of knowledge and policies. The old comrades who participated in the activity and successfully mixed the ingredients for Lapa Porridge said that participating in this Q&A can not only harvest knowledge, but also go home to boil a pot of fragrant Lapa Porridge, and the next activity also wants to participate. At the end of the activity, Wang Yaning, director of the West Fortress Community, gave everyone a New Year's greeting in advance, and welcomed all old party members and comrades to often go to the community, sit down, and contact the community when they encounter difficulties.

The way policies are interpreted changes with the times, and popularizing policies in an interesting, simple, and easy-to-understand way is more acceptable to older party members and comrades. As a special public welfare project for party members in the community, the "Red Sail Exhibition" project aims to contact party members and comrades in the community and timely transmit the policies and regulations of the party and the state. There is no fixed rule on how to pass on policies and how to deepen ties. Reading policies word for word is a way of propaganda, and it is also a way of disseminating policies in a pleasing way. Starting from the spiritual level, rationally thinking about the interpretation methods and activity models that service recipients of different ages can accept and are willing to accept is the theoretical basis for the work and service of the "Red Sails" project, and it is also the main purpose of the "Red Sails" project organization to carry out public welfare service activities.
With administrative support as a solid backing for social organizations
Social organizations are initiated by the community masses themselves, and their organizational structure and work model often lack theoretical and policy support and guidance in the initial stage, and there are shortcomings in scientificity, efficiency, and mutual cooperation, and it is difficult to make progress in the development of social organizations by providing only funds and material resources. The Jinhong community in Chuchu Street took the opportunity of the filing of social organizations as an opportunity to carry out social organization development exchange training activities, and invited leaders of social organizations with a long time of operation and mature organizational framework and operation process to share their work experiences in the organization. Luo Fan, a social worker at Yantai Yunuan Social Work Service Center, shared that how to serve community residents and how to build a social organization is the key to the rational and effective long-term operation of social organizations: social workers can learn and solve the first problem through their own observation and communication with the surrounding masses; and after the development and growth of social organizations to different stages, different degrees of adjustments must be made in work methods, personnel communication, and institutional settings, so as to create a scientific and social organization that meets social needs. Ensure the smooth progress of the service work.
Jinhong Community Social Organization Team Building Association
The main purpose of the exchange training meeting is to allow the "new students" who have not yet developed to copy the "homework" completed by their predecessors, and expand and improve from a theoretical height, and Only Chu Street is the provider of this opportunity. Song Peizhe, head of the social affairs section of Only Chu Street, introduced at the exchange training meeting that all kinds of social organizations in Only Chu Street have a formed organizational structure, and the shortcomings of adjusting the existing framework can be realized through exchange training; and the key to future development lies in the interconnection, network and unified deployment of multiple social organizations, so as to rationally and effectively invest service resources into communities in need, without wasting and not being wasted.
Social organizations are the basic force for participating in community public welfare activities, and are also indispensable participants in the sustainable development and orderly conduct of public welfare activities. This requires social organizations to spontaneously and proactively exchange experiences with other organizations; at the same time, it also requires streets and communities to provide an interactive platform for them to contact each other on the basis of a detailed understanding of the development and service status of various social organizations. The "Red Sail Engine" project supports, guides and serves community social organizations, and in the final analysis, it is to better organize and carry out public welfare activities and serve the community masses. This project is also in the process of contributing to the development and growth of social organizations, and has become a strong pillar of the other three projects in the "Red Sail" project.
The development of the "Red Sail" project not only relies on the liaison and coordination of the Chuangyi Park, so that the resources are efficiently reorganized, and the normal operation of the public welfare activity mechanism is ensured by providing all relevant personnel with the required information, so as to realize the scientific and effective completion of the public welfare service leading work in the new era. The purpose of the "Red Sail" project in organizing and planning activities is to improve the spirit, not just to carry out social welfare from the material level. At present, social welfare activities are no longer the same as before, but simply "carry rice flour oil from house to house". In the context of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way in 2020, eating enough to eat, wear and warm is no longer an urgent problem to be solved, the people's growing need for a better life has put forward new requirements for public welfare activities, and the improvement and upgrading of spiritual life has become the new purpose and direction of social support at present.
2021 is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party, social organizations as an important social force to participate in governance forces, Yantai City, Shandong Province, Zhifu District adhere to the use of party building to lead social organizations to participate in governance, explore a more professional, more effective, more involved in the new model of public welfare services, so that the warm sunshine of social organizations shine into the hearts of every ordinary person.
