Coming to a close for this project I have started to mentor a student and helped initiate a summer program to help keep kids busy and occupied during the summer so that they are not using their free time in negative ways, instead we will help these kids to explore different occupations and studies hopefully to instigate a passion of theirs or an interest they didn’t know they had, or even just to have a fun day of learning and productivity. We will be doing things active as in going on hikes and walks we will be doing construction, and we will be learning about the scenery around us. We are still working out the nooks and kinks of the program and who will be apart of it, but we are very excited. I have also been going to meetings to see if we can brainstorm effective ways to fix community problems involving the youth, for example we are seeing is there is a way to take the resources that the community has and bring it to the students for those who for any reason aren’t able to reach out and get into the community and use those resources. I have really enjoyed this project and look forward to continuing it as I go.
Today I set up meetings at DeNier with some of the coaches and counselors. I will be interviewing them. The biggest dilemma I am running into at this point in the project will be finding a mentor, I have one counselor in mind at Axis, but I would like to try to get one at DeNier so that it is more relevant to my project and closer to who and where I am trying to affect. This shouldn’t be very hard since I already have a definite from Axis. The next step for me in this project will be to get the meeting at DeNier and get those people interviewed and hopefully schedule another one to meet with the students there, and to get my mentor situation figured out. I also need to get on with the fundraising I have started a Go Fund Me account and will be sharing later today on my social media accounts. I think that I will schedule a meeting with Jessica, the fundraiser at our school to get some advice on how to raise money. There are problems arising in this project that I didn’t expect or foresee coming up.
