The Christian Community

Experience (FULE) has enabled students to learn community service and gain practical life and career experience living in St. Paul’s historic Frogtown neighborhood. The FULE House provides housing for up to six Bethel students each year, all of whom regularly attend Urban Homeworks Seminars and participate in weekly community engagement. The experience also requires students to take Intentional Urban Living, through which they explore the meaning of community and the unique issues that arise in…

Community Service Throughout my high school years, I dedicated time to community service, during the summers of 2015, 2016, and 2017 I served as a volunteer at a Summer Camp named, The Cool Summer Experience, that was provided by my church, First Baptist Church of Waukegan. It was similar to summer school, It was from Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 4 pm. I was a camp leader, and as a leader I was in charge of an age group, it was my responsibility to make sure the kids were taken care of,…

a thorough understanding of their client’s community. An individual’s perspective and attitude is significantly influenced by their micro and macro environments (Netting, 2012). For example, a client’s community is the link between the individual and the resources provided in their environment. Social workers must be able to critically assess the environment in order to identify its needs and functions (Netting, 2012). Despite the vast amount of community information on the Internet, it is…

exposed to many scenarios during those classes that I can apply to my future opportunities. It also has inspired me to utilize those talents I am passionate about in activities at the high school. Some projects I have worked on for the school and community include: revamping and recreating Jacobs Gymnastics’ website, filming and editing promotional videos for volunteers and participants of Unity Point, the YMCA and Waukee APEX’s Healthy Kids Day, making promotional videos for the APEX program…

geopolitical community I live in is Orlando, Florida. Florida is a key State that many president candidates try their best to win during election time. Politics of Florida reflect a state that has experienced conflict between its liberal southeastern region and its traditionally conservative northern region. A geopolitical community is a community with defined geographical and jurisdictional boundaries, such as rural municipalities, towns or city communities. The boundary of a geopolitical…

The Lion’s motto “We Serve” empowers volunteers to encourage and serve their communities in any way possible. The two word motto is a statement that reminds us to put others before ourselves. As a child, my parents taught me the importance of helping others. Now, as a senior in high school I try to put this knowledge into action. I think the motto “We Serve” can apply to my life on a daily basis. Serving others doesn’t have to be a huge project; a helping hand is always needed. Opening the doors…

What you did? I was doing my internship at Douglas County Emergency Operation Center; we were a group of three students who are majoring in Emergency Management. Whitney Shipley supervised and taught us a lot of things during the semester.

Neighborhood Comparison While the identity of people used to be assigned it is now something that you make yourself or select (Howard). I chose two neighborhoods that I believe would differ greatly in income levels and also would differ a little bit in race. I thought it would be extremely interesting if I was to observe a multitude of extreme differences in these two neighborhoods due to the fact that they are less than a mile apart from each other. I already had some sort of knowledge of the…

Small Town Communities Living in a small rural community like Ellendale has been a great influence on my life. The small town life has been fun and makes me want to come back. The ability to ride bike from one side of the town to the other is also another convenience of living in this community. The support for local sports teams in small towns is also very good. Families and people who don’t have kids playing still come and cheer on their hometown team. It creates a very good relationship…
