This campaign will be a non-profit organization for children and their families to be able to engage in healthy activities for their children to engage in. They will be provided with health education on healthy foods for their children to make sure they are eating properly. In order for t this campaign to be successful and a help to others we will need hands on deck. Our teachers, caregivers, and parents will all have to communicate with each other so that changes can be made for every child to succeed within this program. As the developer of this campaign, I will ensure that all education information is current, activities are tailored to the different communities across the country, and available to other countries as well.
Uber has great service and it is easy to use from anywhere. I used Uber ones when I went to New York. But I did not know about Uber partnering up with No Kid Hungry non-profit organization. I think they did right thing by partnering up and helping kids with hunger problem. According to techcrunch, “Every dollar from each one day delivery special goes back to No Kid Hungry” https://techcrunch.com/2014/12/09/uber-launches-no-kid-hungry-campaign/. Some of us waste so much food and some cannot even get any food to eat. Thank you for sharing; I really enjoyed reading your post.

For two years, I have volunteered at a unique non-profit organization aimed at providing at-risk inner city youth with literacy skills and mentorship. As a mentor at The Writers’ Exchange, I provide individualized learning and structure to several very challenged and impoverished kids. The focus is on homework, literacy projects and field trips designed to incite creativity, communication skills, self-esteem and accomplishment. The facility is located in the poverty-stricken Downtown Vancouver Eastside, cited as the poorest school catchment in Canada, according to Statistics Canada. It is funded by donations and volunteers. Nearly all of the Writers’ Exchange children are from destitute, broken and often abusive homes, where health and socio-economic
Until spending time in the nonprofit program at Johnson, I never considered the many different tasks associated with starting a nonprofit. Additionally, through growing up at a long-established nonprofit, I took for granted the work involved in establishing it as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The IRS website provides explanation for the many these required tasks needed to file for tax-exemption status. Filing the articles of incorporation and establishing bylaws remain crucial for an organization to receive recognition as a legal entity. However, establishing a nonprofit involves a great deal more than simply attaining tax-exemption status. Tschirhart and Bielefeld highlight many of these aspects, such as developing the mission and vision statements of the organization (Tschirhart and Bielefeld 49). As the reading from last week discussed, evaluating and acquiring resources for an organization should stem from the mission of an organization. Even more so, in order for that to take place, the organization needs established with a mission that will keep it rooted in its cause and a vision
My focus is on non-profit organizations (that help the homeless population/low income clients) and shelters that provide women/families to stay for a specified period of time. Each shelter has a program that the residents have to abide by to stay in compliance. Each person must have a job, seeking employment, or take advantage of an opportunity to learn to be a CDA. There are also other opportunities that are available that the residents can take advantage of. Each non-profit organization has funding from the government, Kiser, P. (2012), (pp. 46-50), private companies that help the organization, and with donations.
The goal of this program was to prevent Type 2 Diabetes as well as reduce childhood obesity and the among Kahnawake residents. The project developed a health education curriculum for children, strengthened the school’s nutrition policy to create supportive environments for healthy eating in the school, and provided a program of classroom and school activities to promote healthy lifestyles for parents, teachers, and children throughout the school year. To follow up and support what the children learned in class, a year-long program of community activities that included walking clubs, cooking courses and community gardens was initiated (Willows, Hanley, & Delormier,
This is a Community Teaching Plan Work Proposal group project for the city of San Diego, and our target community is children in elementary school. We have chosen primary health promotion/prevention and will address Childhood Obesity, which falls under the category of Nutrition and Weight Status in Healthy People 2020.
In light of the concerns for the future of health in the United States, there have been movements, which in turn ignited sparks to jumpstart campaigns to fight against junk food and obesity. Michelle Obama, the First Lady of the United States, kickstarted a campaign called “Let’s Move” which is dedicated to help solve and reverse the rising childhood obesity rates (Learnthefacts). This movement is all about preserving the health for the future generations. The main goals for this movement is to give parents helpful information and fostering environments that support healthy choices, provide healthier food choices in schools, and to make sure healthy food alternatives are affordable for any family(Learnthefacts). In my junior year of high school,
"Like many young people, I believe I have potential to make a positive impact in the world." (Cameron Russell). Everyone has the potential to do something that can impact a person or even the world, but not many people do. People get told by other people that it is difficult or impossible. Someday, I want to start a non-profit organization for teen parents and their children. Of course, it will be difficult, but difficult does not mean impossible.
There used to be a time when zoos used to be full of animals. A time when extinction was not a problem. That was the past. Today, zoos all around the world are missing many animals such as the African elephant or the dodo bird. All of these wonderful animals became extinct because we were careless enough to let them all die. World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is an organization that is trying to prevent extinction from happening. WWF is an environmental organization dedicated to “protecting the world’s wildlife and wetlands” ("World Wildlife Fund"). It is one of the largest private supported conservation organizations in the world, with support from one million members in just the United States. WWF was formed on September 11, 1961 in Morges,
In today’s world there are hundreds of thousands of non-profit organizations (NPOs) established at the local, regional, national and international level, and their influence is increasing. Non-profit organizations even considered the third sector of the economy (the first two is the public and private, or commercial). It is believed that they have a special role in development of civil society. In those countries, which have largely shaped the system of legislative regulation of the sector (USA, UK, Australia, etc); the state spends huge sums on research programs in the field of standardization of the NPO.
Nutrition and weight status is a vitally important issue as obesity is on the rise in the United States. One third of children in this country ages 2-19 are either overweight or obese and this potentially sets them up to develop diabetes and other comorbidities during their lifetime (U.S. Task Force, 2010). It is important to promote health by way of consumption of healthy foods, getting adequate exercise and maintaining a healthy body weight and body image. The Let’s Move initiative, founded by First Lady Michelle Obama, approaches the obesity epidemic at a grassroots level and encourages children to eat healthy, get active and take actions towards a healthy lifestyle ("Let’s Move," n.d.).
Childhood obesity is epidemic in the United States and is expected to increase the rates of many chronic diseases in children. Healthy nutrition and physical activity are keys to obesity prevention. Policy interventions in school that make healthy dietary and activity choices are easier and likely to achieve the greatest benefits. A comprehensive approach involving multiple stakeholder is important in reducing obesity epidemic. Government at national, state and local level must take action. The health care system, schools, and community organizations also have critical roles. School need to improve the quality of food option and encourage parents to role model healthy behavior at home. A cross sectoral approach is beneficial in reducing obesity
