Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Awards Case Study

Alongside my studies, I run a nonprofit organization called The Esther Enaholo Foundation (www.teef.org.ng). This foundation is a platform for reaching out to children in motherless babies’ home. Our most recent project was organizing a Christmas party for children in Arrows of God orphanage home, Ajah. This party had in attendance 50 children from the orphanage home, masters’ students from Pan-Atlantic University and staff of the

Throughout my school years, I have always tried to be a positive role model for younger students as well as my peers. This year I decided that the best way to serve my school was to participate in our school’s Student Leadership Council. It has proven to be a fantastic decision for me. I succeeded in getting the most votes out of all of the candidates and have had a great experience taking a leadership role in my school. I feel like I have become a much better leader and role model because of Student Leadership Council. I have been really fortunate to be exposed to the Jeter’s Leaders program, since they come to our school to mentor us as SLC members. It has been an incredible experience, and I would really love to continue with it. As an eighth grader at Saint Augustine, we are required to mentor our younger students. I

Throughout my past four years in high school, I have had the opportunity to maintain leadership positions in various organizations, including Spanish Honor Society and Drama Club. These groups have allowed me to be involved my school and community. I have organized various events including a stuffed animal drive in which we brought almost 1,000 donations of stuffed animals to the Pembroke Pines Police Department

The final mast of school and community involvement was catalyzed when I joined Key Club as a freshman. Finding a passion for service and leadership, it rapidly became my primary focus in deepening my high school experience. Key Club inspired me to search for further opportunities for leadership and involvement, leading me to join Student Council, Relay for Life, and so forth. Through my various executive positions, I have not only improved my own character and qualities, but also inspired others around me to do the

Combining certain passions with the power granted to me, I chose to make the most out of my leadership position. I organized both the Recycling Committee and the St. Baldrick's fundraiser. In the Recycling Committee, I created a script, filmed, and edited a video emphasizing the importance of recycling. That video was then circulated throughout the school and was a success-- it prompted my peers to correctly recycle materials. Similarly, I ran the social media and advertising campaigns for the St. Baldrick's Fundraiser, raising awareness for childhood cancer. I not only want to achieve leadership positions, such as my National Honors Society position, but I want to exercise them to positively influence the community around

I will educate younger African American children, becoming a mouth piece and passing on what I learned from the conference. This will in turn influence and inspire my peers to strive for greatness. In conclusion, my mission is to provide a message of fortitude to young African American children. I will to create an environment that exposes African American youth to the problems that we face today. I have the hopes of inspiring and motivating youth you reach their greatest potential and take part in things that may seem unfathomable and beyond their greatest imagination if they work hard for

Each of us will show we are leaders by being positive role models for these young people by showing them we genuinely care about them and their futures. We represent the service component by taking time to work in an organization that is in need of volunteers. We recognize that this is not a faith-based organization, but we chose to act on our individual faiths by doing God’s work and serving others. We will demonstrate the pillar of learning by working with children from different backgrounds than we grew up in. Also, we will encourage the children to learn through mentally stimulating activities in a fun

Starting from Girl Scouts to CJSF, my early love for aiding others quickly developed. However, my most pivotal service experience is my involvement in Key Club. As I became further involved in this organization, the thought of advancing my role by becoming an officer became very persistent in my mind. Being extremely shy and withdrawn, the idea of being a leader was incredibly intimidating to even fathom. Despite my shyness and anxiety causing me to doubt myself, my love for serving others outweighed any uncertainty I had in myself. After a daunting speech and election process, I gladly accepted the challenge of a club secretary, which has given me the opportunity to not only serve my community, but the members of my club. My experience as a Key Club officer has enriched my perception of myself and widened my range to serve. It has taught me to take risks and step out of my comfort zone in order to pursue my passions. Key Club has served as a platform for me to become more engrossed in my community and lead me to consider careers in which I can help those in

This paper will discuss three Jewish non-profit Organizations: Amir, Hazon and My Jewish Learning Experience, and their fundamentals, procedures, and goals. These nonprofits have one essential aspect in common; they all fall under the category of Slingshot Organizations. Slingshot, which originated in 2004, grew out of the Jewish community 's desire to better understand the Jewish organizations in existence. With help from the Bronfman family and staff, Slingshot is a resource guide to Jewish Innovation. It consisted of a list of the 50 most cutting-edge Jewish nonprofits in North America. Every year Slingshot chooses another 50 Jewish organizations, and there is no limit to how many times an organization can be mentioned. The question I have for Slingshot is why choose 50 organizations to target why not 100 or 25? The Slingshot Fund was officially founded in 2007, and targeted organizations that worked with the next generation. It taught the funders how to manage a non-profit by reviewing grant proposals, and learning how to best allocate funds. Slingshot 's mission statement is to build improvement among the Jewish community by creating next-generation funders, and allocating resources in order to strengthen their influence on Jewish life. In order to fulfill this mission, they carry out, facilitate, and manage programs in order to build and improve upon three significant activities. Slingshot is not only a source of funding, but also a powerful leader and voice

In fifth and sixth grade, I was invited to attend The National Young Leadership Forum, an organization dedicated to serving academically gifted and talented youth. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to spend a week in Washington D.C., where I learned the qualifications of a righteous leader and to develop academic abilities and interests. I will bring my knowledge of leadership to sustain a school community in which students will strive to maintain integrity and trust with each other. By engaging in community service, I have an opportunity to learn experientially, expose myself to diversity, and develop a sense of responsibility. By volunteering in multiple ways in the last several years, I was able to knit hats for children in hospitals, help at a local food bank, create and donate bookmarks for third graders, and help at the Bellaire Public Library. Helping others has given me a great sense of satisfaction and I plan to continue working on various community service projects in the future. Born and raised to Israeli parents, I am benefited with bilinguality, traveling overseas, exposure to other cultures, and insight on global

During my high school career, I have immersed myself in numerous clubs and committees, empowering my development as an avid leader. I have been involved in my school’s poverty club for four years. Currently as club president, I direct meetings and the implementation of our events and fundraisers for local homeless youth. Additionally, I am co-president for the organization of Moscrop Human Library, a school-wide event that breaks down stereotypes through dialogue. Being involved in the planning since 2015, I was in charge of finding speakers, gaining sponsors, and more. This year, I will be leading the event, delegating tasks, coordinating volunteers, and more. Furthermore, I have been an active member in graduation council for two years and

the Teen Leadership Coalition. Not only have I been blessed with leadership roles off the

I would like to express my strong desire to be part of the Heritage Hall team which prides itself in values and ethics to learn, to lead and to serve. The more I have learned about the tradition of Heritage Hall, I have discovered the learning institution’s values and ethics are facilitated through teaching ingenuity, diversity, courage and compassion to serve the community. These core ethos are directly in line with my personal beliefs. Numerous discussions with people associated with Heritage Hall throughout the community have proven the schools prideful tradition. Especially, Jimmika and Jacquelyn Wolf whom truly embody the school’s spirit and ethos in every faucet of their personal and professional lives.

The agency where I am interning is Partnership with Children. “Partnership” as it is called, works to strengthen the emotional, social and academic skills of at-risk children to prepare them for success--academically, socially, and in life. “Partnership’s” programs aim to bridge the gap between those who have a vested interest in working within New York City’s highest-need public schools, and those in need. “Partnership’s” goal is to transform the overall culture of many of the city’s struggling schools by helping students cope with the extreme stress of living in poverty. Helping students thrive in safe and supportive schools that encourage
