Local or State Organizations:
- The SCEA organization is the South Carolina Education Association, a professional association for South Carolina educators. It is the leading advocate for educational change in South Carolina providing legislative initiative, professional development, and support and guidance for a career in education. This is a large organization that has many members. I feel like it is a helpful place to find information on leading education topics and issues.
- The Children’s Trust of South Carolina is a nonprofit organization that works to make sure parents have access to the services needed to make a difference in the lives of their family. This organization provides numerous programs that promote safety, prevention, and advocacy for children and their families. This organization may be able to offer resources and information for the families affected by my Capstone challenge. Hopefully, this will be an organization that can help me and the families that I will be focusing on throughout my Capstone project.
- My local YMCA is an organization that focuses of youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. The YMCA believes that the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for life. My family spends a good bit of our time at our local YMCA, and I would like to volunteer more time to this organization.

Evelyn,
ReplyDeleteYou included some very helpful organizations in your state that is available to help education. In your local setting you chose the YMCA which is a wonderful organizations that focus on helping the youth become healthy and socially responsible. This is great to know because in my community the children do not have any organization that focus on helping them become healthy or social responsible. You found some interesting jobs for these organizations,too.
Tabitha,

Hi Tabitha. Great choices in your organizations. I never would have thought of the YMCA, but it is definitely a great organization that helps children and families come together in an active and social way, while fostering their interests. Congratulations on having high goals in your jobs of interest.
