    I wish I had thought of "Social Change" for my blog! It is both a straight forward answer and very accurate :) Good job!

Event #2

Tonight I had the opportunity to attend a NonProfit workshop at Brown University.  I am currently a site leader intern at Inspiring Minds and my mentor, Melissa Emidy, was a guest speaker at this workshop. There were other guest speakers such as: Youth In Action, Times 2 Academy, Mentor RI, PSU, AS220, and College Crusades. This workshop was geared towards nonprofit management and all the work that goes into nonprofits, funding, donors, and mentoring. The workshops were broken down into groups. YDEV was the main focus in this workshop (yay!). It was so amazing to be able to connect with each individual on a youth development level and be able to have been educated on something I'm so passionate about. I chose the workshop, Mission/Value, which was led by Pegah (YIA) and Shay (AS220).

I was interested in h...

Critical youth development focuses on how youth engage with and impact their communities and cultures. Being a critical youth development worker focuses on helping teens contribute to the world and speaking up for what they believe in.

It can be beneficial to help me lead the youth and support them. It is important to become a mentor to young people and be the person...

Caring for Children

There are many ways in both of these articles that show how the teachers care about their students. The article by Sarah Nieto talks about how her greatest challenge is helping students and students of color understand racism and what it means to treat others with respect. She is caring towards her students to give them a safe environment that is filled with diversity and equality. Nieto states that," We have plenty of friendly teachers but nice isn't enough." She explains that we need teachers who respect their students culture and will do anything to communicate with them and their parents and incorporate their culture in the classroom. We want to make the students feel like their language is being heard and that their voice matters in this world. Being treated equal is important. After reading this article it reminded me of my internship in many ways. On my first day I met my teacher and she was speaking in English and Spanish. She began to tell me that half of her c...
