“ANALYTICAL SUMMARY”

I. Description 1) What are the goals of the agency/program? How are they meeting a community need?
· The goals of the wildlife animal center are to protect, preserve and treat injured animals. The objectives of their program is to help our wildlife survive and to provide a benefit to the endangered wildlife such as animals.

2) How is this program funded?
· I am actually not entirely sure how this organization is funded. It is mainly volunteer based that is, as far as i know, nonprofit. I think that this organization is funded by sponsorship and donations.

II. Evaluation

1) What connections did you make between the course and the relevance to your service?
· I have definitely made connections with other wild life centers and those connections branched out to the phoenix connections of the organization. I have also made connections with in the group that i was working with that consisted of my fellow students from Paradise Valley Community College and lots of other people who were very nice to be around and they were mostly responsible and helpful to others around them.

2) About the experience of working in a community setting?
· I really enjoyed working with this particular community. Well, actually i enjoyed the fact that this particular community happened to be a bunch of High School and College students that just met working together, and in my case Saghar and me worked together which made it so much more easier to learn since we could ask each other questions and we could help each other finish our projects done faster. Not only that, but it was really nice to see other people in the community come out to work with wildlife center organization. There were several people who came from other sites close to us and they helped us with different projects, but mostly construction work.

3) About yourself-your own strengths and limitations; about how this experience affected

    As a team, we started off by establishing that we wanted to work with a non-profit involved with refugees and immigrants. This is because it is currently one of the biggest topics in the United States and the presidential debate. We became a group because we all were individually passionate about the issue and wanted to make as big of a difference as possible to help immigrants integrate into American lifestyle. We then met up, got to know each other a little bit better and how we work in teams, and finally started to research some non-profits in the local area. After researching for a brief while, we decided to pursue working with Higher Ground International, which caters to refugees coming to America from Western Africa. Our team leader went on to contact some board members from Higher Ground, and they wanted to get to know us better. As a result, we volunteered at a Cultural Gala they hosted at a hotel in Providence. After volunteering at this gala, we learned more about this organization and some potential problems that we may want to fix with our project.…

    I volunteered at Texas Humane Heroes, a local animal welfare organization that gives a homeless dog or cat a chance of finding home. It is a nonprofit organization that benefits from the involvement of volunteers. This was a very unique experience because I got to work with a lot of different volunteers and staff members. There were different volunteering opportunities from foster volunteering to helping out around the place. I helped around the place with other volunteers. We cleaned the dog and cat cages and washed their bowls. It wasn’t fun to pick up their waste, but we got to play with the puppies and the kittens. We also had to greet customers and inform them about the cats and the dogs that they had up there. In the afternoon, we had to walk the dogs. So many volunteers and I, took the dogs out.…

Its commitment to community service and to the support of major charity projects such as the ELIMINATE Project, run by Kiwanis International and UNICEF, was a mission in which I wanted to take part. It was in this vein of the organization that I focused my energies. From Grade 9 to Grade 11, I volunteered…

    For my time spent doing community service, I chose the Urban Ecology Center. I was mainly interested in the field research opportunities as they pertained to my education in Natural Science as well as my own personal passions and interest. The Urban Ecology Center is a community built organization, which gives back to the environment, educates children on being conscious of the environment as well as provides a public space for any one to come and be a part of the goings on or just hang out and use the facilities. The Urban Ecology Center at Riverside Park is where I spent most of my volunteer hours, the building is more adequate for school groups and…

    I engaged in some community engagements for University of Houston-Downtown; however, I really cannot not say that I have a well versed experience in community engagements because besides being a full-time student, I also work in a professional organization as a full-time employee and this is not an hourly rate kind of work that I could have made up for later. I never really have the opportunity to participate as much as I would have liked to, because I could not risk my only source of income that helps me pay for my tuitions too.…
