My job for the YMCA is to build a program for all the summer sport activities. With my programs, I look into working on drills, playing teachable games, and focus on rules for all the children to understand and love to play that certain sport. During the summer, I help run the basketball, lacrosse, and sports of all sort camps. One thing, I strongly emphasize with each of the camps are the four pillars of the YMCA; Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, and…
A nonprofit organization is defined as an organization focused on a specific purpose other than making a profit. The nonprofit organization that I am reviewing is YMCA of Greater New York. The reason I selected this specific organization is because there is also a YMCA located in my home town. It aids in helping the youth and established programs for the betterment of the community. The mission statement of the YMCA Greater New York defines the purpose for creating the organization, how it plans to operate, and what individuals or groups it targets.…
The Young Men Christian’s Association (YMCA) originally started in 1844, founded by Sir George Williams (Ingols, Ladge, & McNett, 2012). The original intent was to improve the quality of life for young men in London, England (Ingols, Ladge, & McNett, 2012). It offered support and services for visiting sailors, World War I refugees and prisoners, as well as assisted African American soldiers as they returned to the segregated South (Ingols, Ladge, & McNett, 2012). After World War I and World War II, the YMCA expanded its efforts while playing a major role in urban communities across the United States. The programs provided boys and girls, including male and female adults across the nation with volley ball, racquetball, physical fitness, swimming, and basketball (Ingols, Ladge, & McNett, 2012).…
List the concept you have chosen and a theory using this concept [use the list of concepts to get you started] My concept is empowerment. I will focus on empowering elderly adults living alone in the community to live quality life by using both internal and external environment to meet their health goals. Myra Levine conservation theory supports my concept. In her theory, individual’s energy is conserved to help them meet their goals with the least effort possible (McEwen & Wills, 2014). The theory includes the principle of conservation of: energy, structural integrity, personal integrity, and social integrity, all of which are necessary in helping elderly achieve quality life.…
Impact of Philanthropy Our friends and donors support Virginia Mason for a variety of reasons, but they all share the desire to make the world, and our community, a better place. Whether their generosity is inspired because of the care they have received, in honor or memory of someone, to advance technology or to “pay it forward,” we are all part of Virginia Mason’s philanthropic community and together we are transforming health care.

Her mother, Shelly, was a surgical tech and a beloved member of the Operating Room team at Virginia Mason Hospital…
Observation: The YMCA daycare program is very different from Hope. I went back and forth between the two classrooms with children from ages 2 to 4 and I even spent a bit of time in the infant room. I learned more about the different temperaments of the children and how to address them. In addition, I also saw how children three to four years of age did not know how to say what they wanted so they would hit and throw things. I would have to say the biggest thing that I learned today was figuring how to get a positive behavior and not to reinforce a negative behavior.…
The YMCA or Young Men’s Christian Association is more than the average gym and swim, more than a place for children to take swim lessons and learn a sport. The YMCA is not only for summer camps and gymnastics. The Young Men’s Christian Association is a movement. The movement is there to promote Christian values and principles in order to strengthen communities. “The YMCA works to bring social justice and peace to young people and their communities, regardless of religion, race, gender or culture”(Who…
I believe I did not fully apply all of my learning objectives while at the Wellness Center. One of my objectives was to increase the efficiency of the center by applying the knowledge I was going to be learning. Despite that I learned many theories and concepts about how organizations work, I was not able to make ample applications due to the lack of opportunities. One primary anticipation I had of the Wellness Center was to be given new job duties and responsibilities beyond what is given to ordinary student assistants. I believed that my experience and knowledge of three years would have given me an advantage for consideration.…
If you spend time on the Arizona State campus you will quickly learn that the Sun Devil Fitness Complex (SDFC) is one of the most popularly used places by the students of the university. With prime location directly on the far end of the palm walk, it gives everyone from all sides of campus the access to a state of the art gym and the opportunity to stay in shape and socialize with friends here on campus; however, when people first think of the SDFC they generally think of lifting weights and treadmills. The side that many people underestimate and don’t get the chance to see are all of the other multi purposes of the complex that come free to all students at Arizona State. Through first hand experience and observation, I will be diving into the general usage and functions of the building here on…

One thing that I do with my community is go to the wellness center. At the wellness center I have met a lot of people just playing basketball. We try and go and play at least two to three times a week. What I do with my friends is play basketball and lift weights. This is a very important to me because I have been trying to work on my wellness wheel after Mariah Weber came and talked to us about.…
Well-being does not only pertain to one’s eating habits and exercise, instead, one’s well-being extends to a multitude of areas of one’s life. The McDonald Wellness Wheel reveals that these “slices” of wellness include the following: spiritual, emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual, occupational, physical, and social. It is easy to forget or disregard many of these areas, especially in the midst of adjusting to college and dealing with a heavy workload. However, in my new lifestyle at Notre Dame, I am learning to incorporate all of these into my thoughts and reflections on my own well-being.…
