Megan Norman — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 11:38:20 -0600

When children are admitted into a hospital they experience numerous amounts of emotions including fear, anger, abandonment, rejection, resentment, loneliness, embarassment, and guilt. Take Good Care Back Packs is a support program I am developing with the Child Life Specialists at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Take Good Care Back Packs will be given to pediatric patients when they are first admitted into the hospital in hopes that the backpacks will provide the children with fun activities that will keep their minds off of their unfortunate situation.

College Mentors For Kids

mmeaghe1 — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 21:55:17 -0600

This is a club of college students who meet with grade school children every week to do activities on a college campus. We introduce the kids to professors and visit different buildings on the Notre Dame campus to show the kids the benefits of attending college. The kids are in 1st through 4th grade, and none of their parents ever went to college. So, generally we are their first impression and experience with higher education. We teach them about all the opportunities college can offer, and how they could attend.

We are doing this so youth can find a positive way for expressing our feelings and using their talents as outlets instead of something destructive or harmful towards themselves and/or the community.
