Program and Initiative

Reflective

The most compelling aspect of this project has been finding the resources to start my initiative. I didn’t realize how many community programs Durham had to offer. It really gave me hope for the youth in my community. The only issues that I could see was in finding the right fit for the right youth. Once I started to research programs, it really informed me of how very important youth are in our community. In order to help our youth succeed, we must be willing to come together and show them how to become productive members of our society. The most worrisome aspect of this project has been finding the time to really research my initiative. This class had a lot of work and research to do. In order to have a great initiative a person has to have the time and energy to start it up. I realize now that you have to have time and find a place where you can be by yourself to considerate. I wish I had more time to really start this initiative. I have always thought about starting a summer program for the youth. Last summer I had got some information on how I could start a program up. The only problem I came across was finding a building to have my program. Therefore I also wish I had the money to get this program off the ground. The best part of this project will be to finally have the research I need to start the program. Now, I have the resources to be able to have more than an idea but talk to other people in the community to get started. If I am not able to start my own initiative can partner with other program to help them with their program. I also feel like I know the youth better and can help them to succeed in their everyday life. I am excited about talking to other co-workers about what I have learned in this class. I can give them the insight on how to start a successful program. Also we can start working on our program for a summer program in
