The Daytona Playhouse

ctoney1510 — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 16:36:36 -0500

For many years now, The Daytona Beach area has been immersed in expensive tourist traps that were meant to boost the economy. Unfortunatley, over time, this has not been successful, and the locals have had to face their fair share of let downs financially. The Daytona Playhouse gives the community an opportunity to overlook this in their lives and allows them to be apart of something wether they are in the audience, behined the scenes, or on stage providing laughter to the fellow community members that have fallen under hard times.

Positive Strokes PenPal Program

brynaers — Fri, 30 May 2008 10:59:52 -0500

I have just returned from an educational stay in South Africa where I taught in a colored township. During my stay in South Africa I realized how small the world is becoming. As the world gets smaller and more connected, we need to encourage our students to embrace diversity and understand different cultures. Many of my students in South Africa were severely impoverished with hopes and dreams. Everyday my students in South Africa experience poverty, hardship, abuse and so much more. Therefore I had the idea to do something different and special for students.

Urban Survival Project

Rizwan — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 04:06:03 -0600

The Urban Survival Project aims to provide an open source portal of condensed and key information for young people struggling to get through education or work. It will hopefully achieve this by enabling a socially networked pool of young professionals over the web who can not only help provide support and bring this information together, but also become an open volunteer resource for social organisations in general. The four key themes will probably be as follows: Surviving Education, Surviving Work, Surviving Small Businesses, and Surviving Life.

Youth Entertaining Seniors is to be an organization that will connect with Senior Citizens who live in retirement homes. Many Senior Citizens are not visited often by existing relatives, and many have no living relatives left. Therefore, it is the duty of those involved in Youth Entertaining Seniors to make these seniors feel that they are loved.

Over the past few years, Nicaragua has experienced a severe economic crisis that has left people of all ages and socio-economic classes in situations of severe need. However, with Hillel’s alternative spring, my peers and I will have the chance to work for Nicaragua’s youth, peasant population, and the broader Nicaraguan community in volunteer service projects.
