On Wednesday night TeamWorks 2008 began! After weeks of brainstorming, and planning I was ecstatic when Wednesday finally arrived. Our group gathered together to meet one another and discuss our future volunteer events. We were also graced with the presence of Cheryl Clark from the Youth Mentoring Collaborative who taught us how we (and the youth we are serving) can get the most out of our time when we only have a few hours at each of our volunteer opportunities. Her words certainly gave me a lot to think about and I'm sure she touched many of the other Team Members as well.
In the coming weeks TeamWorks Session 1: Children and Youth, will be volunteering at Bridge Project, Warren Village, The Spot, and Excelsior Youth Center.
It is my hope that in the coming weeks we will share different ideas and perspectives, and through this move to a new level of understanding and active citizenship. As Dr. Seuss would say "Oh, the places you'll go!"
