I am the community service chair of my organization and in January of 2008 I will be heading up a three day long blood and bone marrow drive. I have accomplished this task once before with outstanding results.

An idea to not just house the homeless, but teach them the basics of life. After living on the streets in survival mode, it is hard for most people to just assimilate. They end up going back to old habits because they are more familiar.
We need a step-program in place to help these people recover not just a house and a job, but a real place in their community and a real identity.

This is a mentoring project designed to connect youth in the Baton Rouge community involved in athletics with a college athlete, professional athlete or retired athlete who shares skills and a passion for a specific sport. The concept is based on the idea that many young people today look to sports super stars as role models from a far, but never truly experience the real effects of having a real life athlete mentor to model the appropriate work ethic, character or just one-on-one interactions with someone who can attest to the real journey of an athlete.

The Opp-Guide is a community service guide designed to educate and inspire middle and high schoolers. Written by teens for teens, the teens "rate" various community service opportunities in the community. We have devised an objective assessment in which the teens provide their honest opinions about their volunteer experience. Modeled after the "Zagat Guide" which critiques restaurants, the Guide is a resource for teens who may not know of a volunteer opportunity or may not know at which non-for-profit is "fun" to volunteer.
