My Service Learning Partner

I am partnering up with Baker Donora Center for my service learning project. The center is conveniently located on the corner of Baker St. and Donora St., one block west of Pennsylvania Ave. The mission of the center is, "improving the quality of life in our neighborhood". They partner with public and private sectors, as well as community residents, to improve the quality of the neighborhood. They are also involved in a Health Outreach to inform and help residents with many resources, such as: Plan First, Quit Smoking, Child Immunizations, Food Resources, My Child, Parenting Resources, Homeownership, and several others. The center also provides and "Extreme Street Makeover" every year, in which they improve the curb appeal of several homes along a particular street.

Baker Donora has asked me to provide them with their next newsletter. Their newsletter typically covers the months activities and services; however, the upcoming months have several important events planned. Therefore, they would like to cover the next couple of months in one newsletter. This will create a good challenge, but I am always willing to tackle a challenge. My partners plan to aid me in anyway and provide me with as much information as possible. This will be a promising experience and can't wait to get started.
