We met with representatives from a number of community groups today to discuss our “what’s out there ?”\u00a0 project.\u00a0\u00a0 The kids worked in small groups, interviewing people about the impact of their community group.<\/p>\n

Here are the final comments made by students and staff listing what they learned from the conversations:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Network as much as you can!\u00a0 Get up and do it.<\/li>\n
  2. Try to infuse your passion into the work you do.<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0Many organizations partner up with other groups; you can have more success with partners.<\/li>\n
  4. At every stage, groups encounter challenges.\u00a0\u00a0 No matter what you think you know, you’ll encounter challenges.\u00a0\u00a0 Look at the ways other people have solved problems and use them.\u00a0 Remember — you’re not the only one.<\/li>\n
  5. Invest your time.<\/li>\n
  6. Network: sometimes it’s great, sometimes it’s worthless!\u00a0 Get up and Show up.<\/li>\n
  7. Manipulate legislators — find ways to change how people do things.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
