Shiloh Outreach Center Case Study

Although many citizens typically make enough to live and support a family, there are still cases where individuals lack the financial support needed to administer aid to their household. A few factors that hinder members of the workforce are job availability, child care necessities, transportation, and educational requirements. For example, there are people that want to work, but after expenses are paid for transportation, childcare, etc. there is very little left

Leadership & Family Enrichment Programs (Programs designed to help strong youth with leadership programs, supporting families, and enriching marriages)

The organization has these issues to consider. Although coming up with the necessary resources and the ways to manage the structure of bringing this information to the kids may at times be tough, but there are several ways to organize the structure. It is our belief that the services that are offered can be divided up into departments, and this in itself will help our employees to focus solely on the work they have been assigned. The first steps taken could be advertising the students of their need for the help that this organization will be offering, and there could be a team made to do that specific duty. The next step would be the enrollment process where we are enrolling the students in these programs as well trying our best to convince them that this is not going to be a waste of their time and could have great benefits to their future. Since many high schools drop outs have lost the sense of responsibility in caring about their education, it would be important to have a team dedicated to explaining to them how hard it is to get a credible job without a high school education and the appropriate skills. Although there are a few disadvantages of dividing the departments into categories such as losing touch with the person you brought into the program, the advantage is that they could meet a lot of people that are trying to help them and it would boost their self-esteem and help them to realize that they really are important and that people really do

While most of the schools in Upshur County have their own libraries, the public library allows for parents to check out books for themselves to enhance their own education. Also, this allows for students to choose from a larger range of read to self-books for the classroom. Along with Libraries providing resources for education, Upshur County has many facilities used for enhancing student learning opportunities. One of these facilities is Stockert Youth Center, Stockert also allows for tutoring in many subject areas at a low cost for the families. Students can receive assistant with reading and comprehension. Also providing educational opportunities is the Child Development Center, which allows for students to begin learning at a young age. The CDC allows for child development in emotional, social, and academic areas to start at a young age before starting public school. The CDC allows for students to begin reading at a young age. Lastly, West Virginia Wesleyan College provides a large amount of community support around the entire county. Wesleyan’s Service Scholars serve in many of the schools, day cares, and afterschool programs. The service scholars provide role models in the facilities and an extra hand for the teachers. The service scholars serve as help making copies, extra one on one attention, and read aloud

After school programs such as Afterschool Centers on Education (ACE) help mold the young minds of the communities’ youth with the developing process of fun and interesting activities. Additionally, this stimulation is also supported by local college students who are fulfilling their community service hours at the center.

While the service trip took place in the Northern US, there were pre-determined requirements that had to be met before we could embark, one of which was a minimum fundraised amount of $500. The money that was raised by this program went towards scholarships for other Kentucky residents to attend YMCA Conferences, where they have the chance to learn about democracy, kinship, and our community. I count this as community service because the YMCA changed my life by transforming an academic student into a servant leader. Providing the chance for someone else to be shaped into one of tomorrow's leaders is doing a service to my community. The third tier of my service goes towards the United States of America. An example of my service to America has already been noted in my ten day service trip to northern states where I helped shelve books with my peers and kinfolk who had fallen into unfortunate circumstances as well as re-vitalise YMCA Camp Y-Owasco through mulching over 5 miles of trails; however, a lesser noted service that many young adults seek is education. I firmly believe that the education of forthcoming generations is one of the greatest services that can be done for our

In the story "Shiloh", by Bobbie Ann Mason, characters Leroy and Norma Jean go through changes in their life as each begin to discover what their real identity is, and what it is they actually want out of their marriage. For some people this may take years, and for others they may never realize it, while merely trying to grasp on to the past, or the way they think things should have turned out. In this short story, Mason uses a couple in their thirties to portray people who are experiencing these types of changes, and depict how they deal with the situation. In the end, the couple is faced with dealing with the inevitable fact that they indeed cannot save their marriage; it was a battle they could not win. However, before the story

The United States defines poverty for a family of four as being less than $16,036 per year, or $4,009 per person (Leone 12). People find themselves under this line for an innumerable amount of reasons. Some of these causes are under one's control and others are greater factors beyond an individual's power. Each family or individual person has unique and separate reasons for living in a state poverty. There is no way to try and define them all. Focusing in, three main topics arise that encompass the most predominant reasons for a person to fall into poverty. Education, family life and influence, along with the business cycle may work individually or together to cause poverty. These three leading

The facility that I am placed at for my field practicum is called Mary’s Outreach Center. Mary’s Outreach Center is located in Rochester, New York and has only been in business for six years. Initially this program only passed out clothes to about a dozen refugees. The refugees who received clothing from Mary Outreach Center started to tell others about the clothes that they were receiving, which brought dozens of other refugees. After about one year of being housed in a small room, Mary’s Place moved into a historical Catholic Church built in 1917, because they started to have too many people and not enough room to service them. The church was gutted out on the inside, besides a select few

We ask that as you choose who is eligible for this money to please consider those that meet the following requirements. The girls chosen should be the students who meet the low income, free lunch eligibility criteria and have expressed plans to further their education after high school. Chapter I is aware that the tests cost $12.00 per test and that the students may elect to take more than one test. We leave it up to you to determine how to divide up the $250.00

Once a you become unemployed, however, you become powerless, desperate for any source of an income. Once in this position, an individual is likely to take a job which is below their capabilities and for less pay.  The difference in class and standing continues to increase. Those with money have the luxury of waiting for a job that strikes their interest, not just a job to make minimum wage.  They can wait until an appropriate job comes up or they can further their education to improve their position even more. Economically, the world is entering into a new phase in which fewer workers will be needed to produce the goods and services for the global population.  For most of the modern era, people's worth has been determined by the value of their labor and skills.

Over 87% of $38.00 sponsorship donation goes to the child & child’s center to provide school fees, books, educational materials, clothing, food, health care, counseling, and activities.

More recent causes not necessarily related to money already in hand have been categorized as follows: inadequate education or skills, poor motivation to work and other negative attitudes or skills, inability to form stable families, proliferation of low-wage, low-skilled jobs, poor schools and inadequate investment in training and skill formation, lack of access to higher education, residential segregation, discrimination in labor, credit, and housing markets. Of these listed, two deal with discrimination (7 and 8), two with jobs (2 and 4) and four with education (1, 2, 5, and 6), and one with families (3).

I am a very active individual within my church however we do not currently have a youth services program. This has become very popular and common in my area therefore I feel it is important to implement a youth outreach program at my church. Drift Pentecostal Church is an adult-driven church that has dissipated in youth over the last 10 years. Drift Pentecostal Church has not had a youth program since the early 70 's. The program has dwindled to a mere once a week Sunday School class that is separated by ages. With each year, the enrollment has diminished thereby leaving our church with only 20 youth members ranging from ages 2-18 years of age. Of these individuals, approximately 80 percent are under the age of 10. Although the pastor is very effective at bringing in new members, it is still important to target the youth in our society today. The most important reason, schools are no longer allowing God in their programs. With the constant fight for separation of church and state, the youth are suffering. The importance of developing a youth program is critical in order to drive our youth into the churches and into God 's hands. In an article written by Mark Howard, he wrote, "the youth are restless, insecure, jaded, and desperately searching for meaning to explain all the hurt and suffering they see around them, meaning for their very existence," therefore what the youth need most is the gospel of Christ Jesus. He is the one who gives meaning to this life. In a study
