• Explain The Importance Of Moving To The Community

Many offenders who are released from prison encounter many obstacles which hinder their progress towards community re-entry. On their own, many fail to secure employment, housing, or complete education or training programs. Without guidance or assistance many offenders return to crime to support themselves. Fortunately there are number of organizations that see the need for services to assist offenders on their path back into the community. One such organization that has proven to be successful is the Safer Foundation.

Furthermore, I founded and serve as President of the PWHS Environmental Club, which is devoted to the ideals of environmentalism and conservation. Through this club, I organized bi-monthly courtyard cleanups to cleanup the PWHS campus, a vigorous anti-littering campaign, a recycling drive, and the coordination of Earth Week activities to spread the gospel of environmentalism. As well, I serve as the student representative on the PWHS Site Based Management Committee, and through this position I fight for a better Parkwood that is focused on love, respect, and academic advancement. Finally, I serve as Chairman of the Union County Teen Democrats and Executive Vice-Chairman of the North Carolina Association of Teen Democrats; and through these means I advocate for a better North Carolina by organizing fundraising events for local and statewide candidates, canvassing through phone-banking and person-to-person interaction, assisting at town fairs and community outreach events, and using my public speaking skills to articulate a vision for a greater America.

How would I use my unique talents or abilities to address a school or community issue? I as of now am the class president of my 7th grade, Hastings Middle School class. In ways to make my school better, I always attend school officer meetings, and listen to my peer’s wishes and hopes. However, one thing I have learned is the fact that you can only do so much for your school realistically. For example, as of writing this, my school has banned water bottle flipping. Water bottle flipping is something with enough work and dedication, I can change. An example to what I can’t change are school lunches. The school already has a certain food supplier, certain food-related staff, and certain menus. To try to change this would be to disrupt many parts

I see environmental education as an opportunity to create passionate young leaders and to educate them on current environmental issues. I believe that my role as a First Year Honors Program Leader has helped prepare me to assist in creating plans for environmental education and community outreach, which are also components of the internship positions that I am applying for. As an honors program leader, I had to create lesson plans for incoming freshmen in a bi-weekly seminar style class to help ease their transition to Iowa State. In addition to this, my time as a tutor for entry level life science classes has shown me my potential as an educator in the environmental field. Leading a class of twelve freshmen students and being a tutor has helped me to increase interpersonal relationship skills and taught me to educate through fun, engaging

Freshman year of high school I joined the Environmental Club. It started out with just five members who would do the school's recycling. With over 2,500 student and faculty members at my school, it was like doing the recycling for a small community. While recycling is great, our club wanted to make a larger impact in our town. We have since started volunteering at the local watershed to educate kids on important environmental issues, created no-idling campaigns, hosted multiple environmentally friendly concerts, and are working on getting solar panels put on the schools in our district. The Environmental Club now has over 25 active members. Through the growth of Environmental Club, I realized many students are interested in protecting our environment,

become an intern. I have participated in events, such as Sustainability Week, hosted by the OES.

During my senior year of high school, I had the opportunity to become a Junior Ambassador for the Chamber of Commerce of Walker County. Being a Junior Ambassador for this organization was a great experience. It taught me how to be responsible, hardworking, and has prepared me to hopefully become a Bevill State Ambassador if I get the opportunity. Based on my experience as a Junior Ambassador, if I had the chance to change anything in Walker County, I would change the fact that there is not as much community involvement as many would hope for. Being involved in the community is something that I strive to do. My generation is becoming the face of tomorrow. I think it is very important to show the people of my generation what it is like to serve

Throughout my time as a student I have been very engaged in my community through student government, and attending college run events. All of the work I have done is because I believe that when people organize they are able to create successful projects that benefit the community. I believe negative aspects of our society are workable in our own communities and that everyone plays a part. When we change our day to day activities it can contribute to changing and shaping our communities. I have found routes to do this in my own life. At Linn-Benton Community College I served as the Benton Center coordinator and as a Judiciary Board member on student government. I played a role in policy decisions that affected our students directly. As an OSU/LBCC

What want to wish for to change my community is violence,sexual assault, kidnappings, and for people to live without fear. I know it might not happen but i would wish for it.

I have been a true advocate of giving back and being a humble humanitarian. Given the opportunity to go from intern to associate for a non profit organization,"Trap Garden", where our mission is to empower low income communities by assisting with revitalization and the creation of community gardens, community involvement, providing cooking demonstrations that are free for residents to attend while receiving a recipe with fresh produce from local markets in Nashville. I want to allow individuals to know agriculture isn't just farming, it's beyond those limitations. Agriculture involves business, biotechnology, engineering, nutrition, and so much more! I am a mover who promotes sustainable educational programs about agriculture, healthy eating,

The return of child soldiers to families and communities is a worldwide concern, as most of the world’s armed conflicts involve children (Children and Armed Conflict, 2003). An estimated 100,000–200,000 children under the age of 18 are involved in governmental and nongovernmental armed forces (Achvarina and Reich, 2006). Two important indicators of successful reintegration include reunification with family and reinsertion into community. Deeper understanding of the individual, familial, communal and societal factors affecting reunification and reinsertion can best be obtained through qualitative data (Lorey, 2001). Findings from such an analysis can then be used to direct further research into the experiences of returning child soldiers. This

Relocating will not be an issue and it will also help me learn how the brand is viewed in different locations. Additionally, throughout my life, I have been under the cover of the "East Coast Bias." It will be helpful for me as either sports writer or a league or team official to understand the different dynamics around the country. I can tell you about how New York fans view sports, but that is likely very different from a person in Atlanta or Dallas. Relocating will provide the opportunity to round out my view of how sports are consumed and absorbed throughout the country and even in other countries.

“In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it.” Marianne Williamson. There is more to life than just yourself. I repeat, do not sit there and wait until the world gets worse. Your living space or environment might be comfortable, but what about others? We as a community should work toward coming out of our imposed circle. Even if only ten percent join to support the community that would be better than nothing. However, it's better to be a part of the solution, rather than to be a part of the problem. It is better to have tried and failed than to not have tried at all.

The meaning of community covers many areas that are very important to me. First of all, community starts with my family. My parents play a big part in my community, because they have shown me the good and bad things hidden in the surroundings. I remember all the fun times my family and I have had. I remember the days when my parents would wake up early in the morning and take me to the school so I can be there for my band rehearsals, practices or sectionals. I have asked myself why I do not see my parents having a social life. Then I understand now that by taking me and my sister to school day by day as well as the church on Sundays, I realized their commitment in continuing with the support to us, their love and caring. This

I believe the recognition of societal or environmental needs and making conscious efforts towards finding a solution is a civic responsibility of every individual in a society. My desire to be a participant of the Emerging Leaders Program is to be a catalyst for positive change and development in my community. To connect with like minds, develop ideas and capacity building initiatives which will promote sustainability by empowering individuals and communities at the grass root level. I appreciate the impacts teachers make in the lives of students, and teaching children/youth gives me a deep sense of satisfaction. This opportunity would present the platform to gain valuable knowledge and insight for my professional development, consequently
