EVERYTHING IS COMING TOGETHER WITH THE SOCIAL CHANGE PROJECT.
Finally, I feel like everyone can see that things are finally coming together. We have picked a date, and we are starting to delve into the interests of each student that we are going to be helping. By Friday, we should have it mostly put together. We’ll only be working with the Regional Institute for Children and Adolescents (RICA) now though, which I am still really excited about.
The game plan is that the students of RICA will come here for a day–tour the school, experience what classes are like, eat lunch here, and meet people from student organizations and student life.
Then the students of UMBC will go to RICA and work on preparing further for college.My goal is to have everyone who helps with this project love RICA at least a quarter of the amount that I do. I just hope that everyone gets to connect with at least one child and see the value in working with kids who are high risk. These kids are so smart, talented, and strong; I hope the students of UMBC get a taste of that strong spirit in these kids when they visit RICA.
I volunteer at RICA on Mondays and I was telling the seniors about coming to UMBC to tour. They were really excited to come here. The feeling is mutual all over UMBC.
