Student Internship Evaluation Paper

I was researching ideas for my Eagle Scout project and wanted to make a meaningful impact on the youth in my community. The Somerset Home for Temporarily Displaced

with someone who might benefit through it or simply just to informed people who are interested in this topic. In the information session they handed out flyers displaying their office hours and locations of their

Saturday I was working the volunteer session from 9a to about 3:30pm. After the session was over, I prepared close to 30 invitation letters to city and county officials in Washoe, Storey, Lyon, Churchill, and Carson City. We are inviting them to attend the poverty simulation during the agency conference at the end of September. I got those printed and sign so they could be mailed out Monday morning. Because it is common for some government organizations to take substantial time off in August, I wanted those letters out as early as possible to give time for them to plan. Reminder emails or post cards will be sent in at the end of August.

Additionally, I volunteered with community programs focused on alleviating health care issues. For example, I worked with an organization that promotes community discourse on the unique, hidden health challenges of homeless and low-income women and girls. Not long after that, I volunteered at two events,

Lately myself and other members of the local ministerial association have joined the advisory board for our local Community Action Program. We are working together to create awareness of the programs available at CAP and have raised money specifically to be used for emergency housing needs.

There is a joy that comes with being an active member in your community. This can be as simple as volunteering in our elementary schools or as involved as serving on one of our many advisory committees. One of the most helpful things that any of our residents can do is simply passing along information about public safety or community events.

They have worked and consulted in research projects with local governments in Texas and across the nation, non-profit organizations, NGOs, public universities to serve in the interests of public health, safety, housing, education, disaster preparedness, civic engagement. With projects concerning social issues, education, youth services, civic, job readiness, and law enforcement. They have delivered innovative solutions and impactful services to the community through conferences, seminars, transformative programs and workshops.

Outreach events, word of mouth, flyers, and ads are ways in which an organization would communicate with their target population.. This organization chose to hold homecoming tours. These tours were open to anyone who wanted to learn about the services Pathways to Housing PA offers. Sensitive to the needs of their potential participants, Pathways held these meeting after business hours to help increase the amount of people able to attend. These meeting are no longer held, but the interviewee states they believe these were helpful functions, and suspects they will return in the

Joel: Building Resource Fair event is coming up in September. Home in community services: Kathy and Robin have been involved, first meeting July 1st.

I participated by helping the staff and students of NAU-Yuma to clean few miles of the freeway that are around the NAU sign located in the Highway 8. I picked the trash located close to the area of the NAU sign.

I am energized by lively discussion, value diversity of opinion, and am one who will always work hard to ensure we accomplish our goal. I have had the opportunity to serve as a board member for several organizations at Georgetown, have led fundraising efforts that have totaled more than $150,000, have planned large-scale events and conferences for Oxfam America and Georgetown Residential Life, and have overseen budgetary appropriations for several clubs as President of the Georgetown University InterHall Council. During my two years as a Resident Assistant, I prided myself on planning activities that appealed to residents from a variety of backgrounds, and I worked tirelessly to build communities where everyone felt included and supported. More recently, I became one of 40 SERVE Leaders at Fannie Mae working together to plan and organize company-wide volunteer opportunities, brainstorm and direct fundraising for the “Help the Homeless” campaign, and partner with local non-profit organizations to create strong relations in and with the communities we serve. I thrive in dynamic, consensus-driven environments that leverage my desire to solve problems and reshape perspectives, and my passion is epitomized in empowering and working closely with others. I hope to have the opportunity to bring this same dedication

With the current presidential elections approaching soon, there is plenty of political activity going on in our communities. Many people follow the presidential elections and listen to what these candidates have to say, however, there are other elections going on in our own communities that also have a big impact on us. We sometimes tend to forget about our local candidates and at times ignore what they have to offer for us. I, myself, am able to relate to this. I decided to take action and go out to a local community to do voter registration with the hope that people would not only register, but also go out on November 8 and vote.

We participated in a community event and set up a booth with educational tobacco cessation materials and resources. We educated people on the various cessation resources available to help them. We also connected people with the Colorado

There was mixed feedback recorded, a lot of unaware voters. The team overcame the voter fatigue by bringing into play the involvement of the person in the issues presented by Lesley Cohen. Voters were receptive to our information and many agreed with her stance on priorities like education, jobs, and the environment. We knocked on a couple of voters that had been canvassed in the past but were still encouraged this time around to cast their vote in Cohen’s direction. Overall the day ended on a positive note and it was good to see voters planning when and where they are supporting our candidate.

The value of community involvement and improvement played a vital role in the success of this program. For example, one of the major events this program was a movie night where over 100 residents attended. The
