To determine the effectiveness of Outreach 360 and the necessity of CRC’s return to Monte Cristi has proved rather difficult due to the people within the organization telling me one set of goals and objectives and the Outreach 360 website painting a much different picture. I have decided however, that I cannot evaluate an organization based off of a conversation I off-handedly had instead of the published goals that Outreach 360 has released on its webpage. Whether or not CRC should return to Outreach 360 may be more subjective and based in my experience but because I must evaluate the organization based off what it has told the world it has done and wants to do, I have decided that Outreach 360 does not effectively meet its goals and never will. …show more content…
From my lack of findings on their website and the Outreach 360 staff’s unwillingness to share data while we were in Monte Cristi, it is nearly impossible to evaluate their progress in the Dominican Republic. The lack of specificity demonstrates a failure to be invested in the individuals they hope to serve, the disadvantaged children, and an inappropriate focus on growing their organization into “10 countries with a total of 30 Community Centers” (Outreach360.org) as stated in their objectives. These broad goals have had little support of data or a plan of any kind available to the people that Outreach 360 is asking to participate in their volunteer
I am the product of divorced parents, poverty stricken environments, and a blended family, but I refuse to let that dictate the outcome of my life. At the age of ten, I had to assume the role of a fatherly figure to my three siblings, so I missed out on the typical childhood most would have had. I grew up in neighborhoods where gangs and criminal acts of violence were a pervasive occurrence, but I resiliently did not allow the peer pressures of others to force me to conform to their way of life. By the age of 15, I received my worker 's permit, and that allowed me the ability to help my mother financially in the absence of my father’s income. I worked the maximum amount of hours I could while balancing my academics and extracurricular school activities. I was a scholar athlete and triathlete in high school, and although I continuously faced much adversity, I still managed to be accepted to the University of California State, Bakersfield after I graduated from high school in 2005. Sadly, after

In contrast, according to Barnes, Miller, and McKinnon (2012), mentoring relationships can be more structured and “formal” as a result of being organized though actual agencies verses informal connections where the relationship organically develops, for example with a coach and athlete or teacher and student. A reputable organization known as Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (BBBS) is a formal mentoring program founded in New York City in 1904. The purpose was to solicit professionals, philanthropists and community leaders to serve as volunteers for the youth engaged in the criminal
The ethical discernment model described by Slosar (2004) and developed for use at Ascension Health will assist us as we analyze this case. It reminds us that discernment engages our spirituality, intellect, imagination, intuition, and beliefs. It is decision-making that reaches into the heart of our beliefs about God, creation, others, and ourselves. It therefore requires structured time for reflection and prayer from the beginning and throughout the process.

A well-known program in New Orleans is The Covenant House. It is a well establish program that offer assistance to thousands of youth. Each day, scores of kids walk into Covenant Houses across the Americas for the first time. They get what they need immediately: a shower, a meal, clothes, a warm bed, and medical care if they require it – more than a third do. Then, Covenant House has expectations of the kids. Once they’re safe, clot...
People sometimes ask, “Why should I have to give money to this project? I cannot possibly make that much of a difference.” The founder of the Cooperative Program, or the CP, thought differently. Since Ecclesiastes 4:9 says, “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil,” how much more can one hundred people do? How much more can 16 million people do? Well, through the CP, an immense amount of success comes from its rich history, its concise system, and by its evidence of life-changing stories. Most importantly, the success of the CP cultivated a revolution in today’s world.

When a case study is conducted, the researcher conducts an in-depth observation on a particular individual for an extended period of time. While observing the individual, the researcher records their observations which are then translated into case materials that are used to demonstrate a possible problem (American Psychological Association, 2009). Also, as mentioned before, case studies are solely focused on observations of a particular individual. However, even though the word individual is usually used to refer to a person, in this case, it can also be used to refer to a business, school, or neighborhood (Cozby & Bates, 2012).

Endless Outreach will network with local schools that have a high number of at-risk students. Provide services such as academic coaching and alternative to suspension programs. The non-profit will also provide training school staff on how to deal with at-risk youth, uninspired students, and how to lower gang activity in the schools. With a firm belief that it takes a village to raise a child, our organization will incorporate the family of the students and as well as school staff to create a plan for success so that the student understand the amount of support he or she has. Endless Outreach understands that much of a child’s problems begin at home. Therefore we will assist parents with employment training, free credit repair and budgeting, and help them receive family counseling from other local agencies in the community.
Community service has become a requirement for an eighteen year old student to get admitted in an university or to pursue a paying job. Although I am involved in many community service, I personally believe that it should not be a requirement. A student should desire to work voluntarily. He or she should not be forced to perform the community service to make their college application look better. There are several learners who are against volunteering. The high school students have various things to see and learn. They should be able to help others by their own choice. They should not perform it just to graduate. Pressurizing can lead to have short-tempered apprentices which is not good.
