PASA

After browsing through Providence After School Alliance (PASA), I came across Amy Karageorgos's job description/bio. Her description stood out to me. After reading, I realized it is something I would like to do after obtaining my Bachelor.

Amy Karageorgos is the development and Communications Consultant at PASA. She supports PASA’s fundraising and communications activities. Amy has worked as a consultant for numerous non-profit and intergovernmental organizations. Before she became a consultant, Amy worked for UNICEF, the International Paralympic Committee, other international organizations and research initiatives. Amy holds a B.S. in Kinesiology from Pennsylvania State University and an M.S. in Disability Studies from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

What is exciting about this position is the fact that I am passionate about the development of an organization/program and fundraising. The best part of this job is getting to know many great people and making sure that the fundraising strategies are effective. I am attracted to anything that has to do with planning and building a relationship. I am assuming in other to keep people to donate during a fundraising event is to establish a relationship that will encourage the donors to see the need to donate in the future or to keep donating on the regular basis. I am assuming that the challenge would be to encourage these participants to donate and to make them regular donors.

Question:
How does PASA maintain their partnership?

G U E S T S P E A K E R R E F L E C T I O N

My reflection is based on Karisa Tashjian, from the Providence Public Library. Karisa's presentation spoke out the most from my point of view. The way in which she presented her materials and educated the class not just what we know about libraries, but what goes on in the organizational structure that most of the class did not know about. I like how she made a connection to the fish after talking about partnering with other organizations. She mentioned that, partnering with others help bring in bigger ideas especially when everyone is leading in the same direction. The activity with the fish when everyone has to write down the names of fish they know helped me in understanding what she meant by working alone only lead to walking in circle whereas working with others. When there is a team opportunity and everyone is on the same page and has the same goal, there will be one focus and a better result. In connection to one of our course text, this reminds me about the import...

Play Box Activity (Culture & Ethnicity)

I believe culture and ethnicity cannot be learned once, because there is always something to learn even from our own cultures and/or ethnicity. I loved the activity because my teammate Maggie had me thinking more about my culture and what it means to me. It is something I do not often think about. By doing this play box, it helped me to cherish my culture even more. Planning this activity with Maggie was very educating and fun. The best part was listening to what others have to say concerning their culture/ethnicity. It made me to feel as if I am in a room fill with rainbow. Although we all have different cultures, but we somehow relate to at least one or two persons in the room. As for me, I felt satisfying when Tracy spoke of culture and the love she has for certain music and food in her country because I could relate and understand what she was speaking of. For the other, though i did not know, it made me curious to find out and I felt that I was with them in that moment when the...
