After Hurricane Katrina, the staff at the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center in Mississippi wanted to do something to help their community.

Volunteers developing long term relationships with people and speaking up for them. This is a partnership between two people.

I believe community involvement is essential in order to cultivate skills, increase awareness and educate people to have a fruitful venture in mind, body and spirit. The cultural diversity, partnerships with public, private and non-profit organizations have been instrumental to our success in this region. Despite the different ideologies and competing viewpoints, I hope to become an agent of

The preservation of traditions and skills is an important part of our community and family history. As Rose stated in “Let the Good Times Roll”, “It is the harmonic convenience of our food, our music, our creativity, our eccentricity, our neighborhoods, and our joy of living. All at once” (361). During the fall of every year, towns across Georgia host a festival of some sort. Whether it be the Yellow Daisy Festival at Stone Mountain Park or the Friendship Festival in Social Circle, local artist and craftsmen come together to display and sell their handmade items. Ranging from patch worked quilts to bird feeders to hand smocked children’s

I am interested in this position because my future goal is to become an executive human resource professional. This position may be the first step in that direction. Moreover, I have performed

During the summers of 2015 and 2016, I got the chance to work in Istanbul, TR as a summer camp counselor. The program is called RC Summer and is an english immersion program for Turkish kids aged 7-14. As part of the program, the counselors are given a lot of free reign on the activities they can offer so I offered activities that ranged from building toys to making giant bubbles. My favorite activity that I offered was "Recycled Town." In 2015 the theme of the summer was "Move, Act, Make a Difference." Every other day, I would take my group of kids around campus and we would collect things in recycled bins and by the end of the session they had built their own town equipped with a bank, a nuclear power plant, a sewer system, a farm, and an

With great willingness, I am applying for the position of Senior Program Development Specialist with the Oklahoma Healthy Aging Initiative. My longtime friend, Madelyn Keck, learned of the position and suggested I apply. I am seeking both a change and a challenge and this opportunity provides both. My education, skill-set, and experience make me an excellent candidate for this vacancy.

Over the summer I will be working with an organization called Sacred Road, which is on a Native American Reservation in Yakima, Washington. Sacred Road was started by Chris and Mary Granberry, a couple from Alabama who moved to the Reservation in 2003 to serve the struggling community there. When they moved there, one hundred percent of the homes on the reservation were affected by alcohol/drug abuse, and the average life expectancy is 40 years old. Sacred Road works with members of the community to rebuild homes, counsel teens, and run a children's care center, along with starting a church. Since the Granberry’s have moved in, the average life expectancy has increased, the suicide rate has dropped immensely, and the amount of thefts

Keep Durham Beautiful, a local clean up Durham project, has issued an article in the Durham Herald highlighting the project's success. The Durham police and Keep Durham Beautiful teamed up to help clean up Durham, specifically the area surrounding Lakewood. On this cleanup day they collected over 30 bags of trash, while the clean up was happening small local business like The Scrap Exchange, whose goal is to take trash and turn it into art treasures, and the Scratch Bakery. This day event created a bridge between small business and the community, and also taught the participants the importance of having a clean and functional community. Another goal of this day event was to reduce the amount of littering and teach attending children the gravity

For this service learning assignment I devoted my time and energy to working with Brooklyn Cemetery, the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia, and Athens Technical College. I participated in MLK Day of Service, which was created with the intent to “celebrate and honor the birthday of the famed civil rights leader, Martin Luther King Jr” ("There's Still," n.d.). This day of service stood to serve many different aspects of the community and benefited a wide range of populations, mostly in the form of environmental cleanup. Much of my time was also spent volunteering with The Food Bank of Northeast Georgia, whose mission is to “work toward ending hunger as part of an overall community effort to alleviate poverty” (Growing Seeds, 2016, p. 2). Through

Atticus and two of his fraternity brothers, three other girls, a friend of mine I joined together on Saturday, March 31st to go to three separate parks in the Chattanooga region to do park clean-ups. The three parks we went to were Stringer’s Ridge, Rivermont Park, and Vandergriff. Our overall goal was to go to these parks and assess any garbage or waste that was within the parks and make sure all of it was properly put in the appointed receptacles at any of the given sites. We wanted our impact to be that people could be in a public park without being disturbed by rubbish that careless people did not dispose of properly. While the idea for this community service project was simple in actuality we believed that the overall inherent essence of what we did could have a lasting impression on people in the park who were observing the clean-up and those

Given the fact that the city’s downtown district and main point of attraction is marketed as “The Arts District,” the community’s appreciation and support for artistic creativity is to be expected. The unexpected element that specifically Carmel provides is that this support is directed towards all local proponents in the area. In analyzing the recent advertisement for a community art fair (see Appendix B), this concept is more than clear. The poster, marketing the Carmel International Arts Festival, advertises the twentieth running of the event that showcases local artists of all backgrounds, mediums, and interests. At this event, artists (regardless of their skills or expertise) are able to generate self-exposure, sell their work, and introduce more of the community to their cultures and talents. These opportunities for local artists can serve as a means for many of them to use their artwork to earn their
