Reply with your service-learning proposal. Your service-learning proposal is due Sunday, 9/20 and should include your project plan(s), community partner, whether you are working alone or with a group. I will post an initial blog post titled “Service-Learning Proposal” and you can post a “reply” with your proposal.

I will probably be working alone and with a group. My first time will likely be with my friend and her group from work. Then I may work on my own.
The first day, I believe I will be helping with child care for the babies/children of the young mothers. (Does this count toward our assignment???)
Ultimately, I would like to get to work directly with the mothers, as I was a teen mom, as well. I feel I could offer them advice or insight or some sort of education in that realm. (I'm sort of excited about this prospect.) : )

In addition, I will be adding other activities from AAUW when activities arise...such as the PACE Thanksgiving Luncheon.
I'll be working alone and with a group. My ultimate goal is to spread the idea of tolerance and acceptance for young women.
I plan to design an informative manual or pamphlet regarding a relevant issue on anything the organization needs. I will consider things such as: Health, Diversity, Education, and Societal Pressures.
I intend to contact the organization and inquire about a relevant project in which to pursue.
If that doesn't work out, I plan to contact VOX and work with them.
From my contact with BETA I understand that I will be doing most of my volunteer work in the center's childcare center which supports the children of young mothers. I will be filling out the paperwork on Thursday and plan to get started the following week.
Since this is a girl's studies class and I will be working in childcare I hope to get a first hand look at what today's girls are learning and hopefully serve as a positive role model in their lives and development.
I will be a a short-term volunteer. I will get the opportunity to mentor young girls, do community service, and provide the girls with cultural awareness.
I will be working on my own. My goal is to have a positive influence on the young girls I will be working with.
