My Interests After my Experience

My interests were initially in looking at how non-profit organizations, particularly international NGOS, worked to engage with the community and solve issues within. By working with PeaceJam, an international NGO, I was definitely exposed to how these organizations try to make sustainable and lasting change within these communities. I think the biggest takeaway from workingContinue reading “My Interests After my Experience”

Glass ceilings and sticky floors

What resonates with me even more after this experience is how 3rd world countries continuously are given an unfair shake. I’ve known that they are given unfair disadvantages as my parents are from 3rd world countries, but living in one and speaking with other students that had grown up and studied in them really pulledContinue reading “Glass ceilings and sticky floors”

Adios a Costa Rica

As a self-driven student, leading isContinue reading “Revisiting my Interests After my Experience”

I did not know what to expect when I started my AmeriCorps service with PeaceJam but it has given me a new perspective on what it takes to and what it means to truly serve a community. The Center for Leadership and Service does incredible work andContinue reading “Farewell to my AmeriCorps Summer Experience”

The Map of my Spaces

For my map, we start at the Center for Leadership and Service. PeaceJam Southeast operates out of this department at Florida State so I spent a lot of my time here. When not working on PeaceJam, I would assist and participate in different events and activities that the Center would put on. I also spentContinue reading “The Map of my Spaces”
