I suppose the fact that summer is flying by can be taken as a good sign that somehow between work and my social life, I'm staying busy. Let's be honest, it's probably just work.
Anyway, I've found myself crazzzy busy with Youth United. Little did I know how much coordination it takes when running weekly volunteer projects. It has been fun to see the wide range of opportunities available to youth in Pierce County- from helping at the zoo to painting a local home, there are plenty of ways to stay busy.
In the midst of organizing these projects, I have also starting my Alumni Project. We had our first social last week, that seemed to be fairly successful with some great feedback. I am excited to tie YU Alumni into their various communities. (On this topic: If anyone has any idea how to create material for a customized tab on Facebook... shoot it my way! I have successfully created a YU Alumni tab on our Youth United page, but have no idea how to create customized content for it... hmmm.)
Aside from this, I am gearing up for the new school year! As busy as it's going to be, I am excited to reach out to more students.
ALSO- A few of us were able to attend the training last week in Seattle. I am not sure if all of you went to various trainings... but if you would like information on grant writing or "Life After AmeriCorps"- let me know! VanessaF@uwpc.org
Until next time, soak up that sun!
Cheers,
Vanessa
