Project Brainstorming, Part 2

For my project, I would like to provide assistance in the form of written documents to help the local chapter of Prevent Child Abuse. This non profit organization is of interest to me because my sorority supports their cause by raising money at an annual event and they are located near Clemson. Since they are not a large charity and probably have fewer resources than an organization such as the Susan G. Komen Foundation, I hope that they would welcome the free help. Although I have not talked to anyone connected with PCA yet, I imagine that they would benefit from an organization of their documents for the various services they provide. These services range from offering parenting classes and support groups to training staff members who work with children. They also have a list of speakers who are available to talk to groups and organizations. The wide range of services that PCA offers affords me with many possibilities to begin a project. I can see my project taking form in the shape of fundraising and thank-you letters, a manual for volunteers, or even brochures to raise awareness for their cause. I would be comfortable taking the role of an intern who is available to help in any area and do small things to ultimately make things easier for the people who work there. As I mentioned previously, the mission of PCA is close to my heart, so I really wouldn’t mind approaching this project as less of a “school assignment” and more of a volunteer effort.
