Community Immersion

Does the group identify upcoming actions or events that will be important to the group? Are members asked to do anything in the near future? What are the group's priorities? Do they have a legislative agenda? Are there current bills in Congress connected to the group's interests? Is there any action at a state rather than federal level? Be specific in your responses

A very important part is to choose the right people who will be responsible for particular tasks such as finding and securing the right caterers, accommodation for those attendees who travel from abroad or further away from the place where event is being held, organizing administrative work

A community is a social group established by geographic boundaries or common values and interests. Its members know and interact with one another and function in a particular social structure and exhibit and create norms, values and, social institutions (Stanhope, 2008).

Your invited group members are only required to be active, thinking participants. Except for reading through the Discussion Guidelines ahead of time, they do not have to prepare for the discussion beforehand or do any

We will conduct the group by first letting the residents know that there are boundaries and rules; no interrupting others, no judgement of others,

My project relates to the course objectives twelve and seven this is because it talks about inclusion, in which all types of diversity are respected, appreciated, and valued in America. As well as the vital role of the people in creating and maintaining a society through voluntarism and civic engagement, a role that can complement and replace the role of the government ensuring the well-being of society. Civic engagement involves “working to form a distinction at intervals the civic life of one’s community and developing the combination of information, skills, values and motivation to form that distinction. It suggests that promoting the quality of life throughout a community, through every political and non-political process” (Erlich, 2000). Civic engagement includes every paid and unpaid style of political policy, environmentalism, and community and repair. Volunteering is one kind of civic engagement. Many of the nation’s volunteer’s group are youngsters. 59 percent of teenagers in the U.S. are recorded for their participation in youth volunteer. Most youth volunteers do so out of selflessness and by wanting to make a difference throughout other individual’s lives.

“Service-learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities” (Learn and Serve America National Service-Learning Clearinghouse). This assignment gave students the opportunity to go outside of their comfort zone, which is typically the classroom and see what the “real world” is like. As Gandhi would say “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others” (Gandhi). I believe that this project really allowed us to appreciate what we have because many people are not as fortunate. During this service learning project I had certain expectations going into the project, but in the end, my results were not exactly as I expected.

What is a community everyone reading this? A community are people that have common ties and can relate to each other. The Greasers had a community there self , and they all share a social tie.

There are different ways to define ‘community.’ The most basic and literal definition is: a group of people. However, it can also branch out into different types, it can be specific and refer to a religious community or sometimes a sense of community. The Ma Tzu pilgrimage in Taiwan fulfills all of the above. Every year, four to five million Ma Tzu followers gather to participate in the old ritual. Perhaps the reason why the practice is so extensive--not only in terms of the amount of followers but also in its depiction of community--is because the belief system is very flexible. This flexibility allows the belief to conform in a way that best fits individual people but it is also able to stretch its influence to a large number of people and as a result, ties everyone together into a closely knit community.

The term ‘‘service-learning’’ means a method (A) under which students or participants learn and develop through active participation in thoughtfully organized service that (i) is conducted in and meets the needs of a community; (ii) is coordinated with an elementary school, secondary school, institution of higher education, or community service program, and with the community; and (iii) helps foster civic responsibility; and (B) that (i) is integrated into and enhances the academic curriculum of the students, or the educational components of the community service program in which the

I wouldn’t really say my community as a whole has an impact on me as a person but people in around me have had a huge impact on me for who I am today. The people who have the biggest impact on me is defiantly my family and friends, I have done so many things with them that made me the person who I am today.
