After looking at the prospect list of potentials leads, I listed who I thought should be contacted from first to last. My top five are Don Lake, John Maxwell, Sue Saban, Jenny Smith, and Bill Syos. I looked at this list with an open mind and really wanted to get a sense of what these people could bring to Every Child of Lane County. I chose to rank Don Lake as my first lead to contact. In the note about Don, it mentions how he was discovered at a nonprofit and business forum at the Lane County Fairgrounds. It said that he was interested in learning more about Every Child of Lane County and wants to be a contributor. What got my attention was how he has a business and a budget, which some of the leads doesn’t have. His budget of $5000 could open up some doors that could lead to big things for Every Child. Yes, it is important that the potential lead is passionate about contributing to this organization, but it is even more important that they have a stable foundation. …show more content…
In the description of John it said that he is the owner of Maxwell Management, which is a management and consulting firm. He does have an advertising budget of $20,000 and is a supporter of nonprofit organizations. Someone from the Every Child organization met him at church and he did mention that he was very interested in learning about Every Child of Lane County, which is a great sign. Along with Don Lake, John has a stable foundation (his own business) and a larger budget. I was going to rank him first in the list, but, for whatever reason, felt that Don Lake had more of an interest. I think it is because Don was discovered at a nonprofit event, which showcased his interest in these types of organizations. But honestly, both Don and John have the potential to help Every Child of Lane County grow as an
the most charitable market entrepreneurs were Andrew Carnegie James J. Hill, Cornelius Vanderbilt and John D. Rockefeller.
This school has had 5 principals in 4 years. I spoke earlier about this school being a part of the I-zone. The I-zone is a special subset of schools within Shelby County that are given the task of leading a school from the bottom 5% to the top 25%. In that there is a high turnover rate with administrators and teachers. I was selected to be a turnaround principal given a certain amount of time with the authority to make necessary changes. The community asked for a principal they could relate to. They wanted to be involved with the school and wanted resources given back to them so they could help their children. I listen to community concerns and established a parent power committee so they could be partners in education with us. We reached out into the community to garner some wrap around services to help and support our students. We gained seven (7) new Adopters who have formally taken the charge to provide resources that all students will need to achieve academically. Life Church gives us food. Bellview Baptist Church comes in and tutors all our 2nd grade students. Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity has volunteered to come in and work with our students on STEM projects. We have Omega Psi Phi who comes in an exposes our kids to social and character development. And the list goes on. There just so many programs and organizations ready to work with us because they know
1.) In addition to excelling academically, Ron Brown Scholars feel a deep commitment to use the tremendous opportunities afforded them to give back to others. This is manifested in their dedication to personal involvement with the RBS Program and the hands-on community service work performed by each of the Scholars. A strong philosophy of the Ron Brown Scholar Program is that individual service on the grassroots level has the capability to affect great change on a global scale. With so many issues facing our communities today, what issue would you like to see addressed by our group and how would you leverage your potential position as a member of the RBS community to develop a solution?
I was originally going to complete my service learning project at Kitchen for the Poor, located at 650 Vance St in Toledo, Ohio. But in view of my capacity to volunteer because of my work hours, I had to pick an alternate administration to partake in. Instead, I had the opportunity to volunteer at Momee’s Daycare. Momee’s Daycare is owned and operated by Renee Bowen, and her location is at 756 Wenz Rd. in Toledo, Ohio. Her company has five employees, situated in the proprietor’s home.

Therefore due to previous interaction, I decided to study the leadership of the Brantwood Children’s Home here in Montgomery, Alabama. Brantwood is a well-known children’s home that provides a place of stability, safety, and structure for abused, neglected, and at-risk children (About Us: Brantwood Children's Home, 2013). There are several types of residential programs that are available through Brantwood such as the basic residential treatment program; the transitional living program; and the independent living program. For each individual program there are age group restriction along with other restrictions. Brantwood also have an on-site educational program for grades 5th through 8th grade. According to the text book from my understanding, Brantwood is an example of the fourth type of organization that was presented.

Altogether, my perspective on this affiliation embraces the importance of education and safety across all of the United stated. The founder has surfaced a great importance to what may have been over looked. Furthermore, being that most children engage in camp experiences at some time in their life; as youngsters with the ability to absorb information like a sponge as well as being risk takers, it is imperative to hold education and safety as a high quality of a camp experience. Moreover, is the education of communicable disease along with prevention of outdoors dangers as I had mentioned before the West Nile Virus. In conclusion, I view the volunteers as inspirational people that bring knowledge to others, but most importantly benefiting the children.

I chose this project because of a young boy named Oliver, and his family. I have sponsored Oliver for almost three years now and have seen the benefits of an education, and a trade being taught to people in the Dominican Republic firsthand. Because my sponsorship and the works of the people serving people like Oliver, he can get an education, and his father can

The compliance of both the core set value service and competence is reflected in the XYZ agency. The XYZ agency networks with local companies such as a local pharmaceutical company, DONOR1 for support for the agency. DONOR1 adopted twenty families, donating boots for all the children, and donated gifts for children and their families on holidays. Providing a service to help those who are unable to have their basic needs met by creating community awareness. In the field of social work you must network in order to gain access to resources, to build relationships, and to figure out how to implement services. Reaching out to the community shows the competence of networking to help make an immense impact than solely utilizing agency resources. In addition to compliance demonstrated at the XYZ agency, the requirement of orientation and training to new staff, volunteers, and interns help everyone to be competent in the service being provided to children and their families.
