Exploring Roles in the ECE Community: Local and State Levels

THREE LOCAL AND STATE  OF ORGANIZATION:

Three local and state organization that appeal to me:

1.Big Brothers - Big Sisters They offer programs such as School-based mentoring. Children have someone from the program mentor them during school. The vision: all children achieve success in life. There mission: provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one–to–one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever. There Accountability:  is partnering with parents and guardian, volunteering in the community and providing great confidences  and better relationships among children. I chose this organization  because it inspires teenager and young adults to have a better outlook on life. This organization impacts these children in every aspect of their life in a positive way. I feel passion about this program because gives children hope. Sometime we need someone else to talk too or mentor us.

2. Boys & Girls Club of America The reason I feel passion about this organization the offer so much for the children to participate in. My children had the opportunity to go to the boys and girls club in my community. They provide a excellent after school program and the children from all diverse background enjoyed themselves. There mission: to enable all young people, especially those who need us must, to reach their full potential as a productive and caring responsible citizen. there core belief: a safe place to learn and grow, ongoing relationship with caring adults, hope and opportunity life enhancement and character development experiences. I believe it takes a special person to work at the boys and girls club.

There mission: is to fight hunger and poverty  in New Jersey by assisting those in need and seeking long-term solution. They engage, in educate and empower all sectors of society in the battle. They not only provide food for those in need they give long time support to families.
