Jessica Lucas, Ferrum College
1) Create a community center by renovating an old school house
2) –the old school house was used by many of the older generations and brings back a lot of memories, but it is now used for storage
-the senior citizens do not really have somewhere to get together and meet.
-there are few after school programs and almost nowhere for youth to hang out
-a museum/memorial would be nice to keep culture and tradition alive
-overall every age group could utilize this building and gain from it

Head Start
St. James Center‡ models we could use
Need:

4) –get the college faculty onboard and permission to do the renovations college owns the school by Oct. 2006
- have at least 3 community partners on board by Dec. 2006
-have a grant written by March 2007

5) –the very first thing that needs to be done is obtain permission from the college to do this.
1) write a proposal including:
a) a need!‡ lack of meeting space
b) interviews from the community showing they want/need this
c) local head start showing how after school benefits students
d) simply an interview from every age group showing a need
submit this proposal to the President and Dean of College
2) Do a follow up session with the President and Dean

1) Service Project
2) This will be broken up into three different service projects.
-people we will be dealing with: turkey hill;, Doulos/shelterwood, and Cam.
a)Turkey Hill: children’s camp, we will help with whatever needs to be done.
b)Dolous/Shelterwood: this is a place for trouble teens, want to show them a love that they have never seen before.
c) C.A.M.: serving people with needs.
-resources: can ask any one if they have the skills that would be needed to get the jobs done.
a) at out school we have just about every skill that would be needed (mastered)
3) I was thinking that it would be nice to do this in April. So by next June I would like to make sure all things or as many as possible to go right next year. I want to get feedback from the people that have done this before.
4) 2-3 Goals:
-make sure I know what the service projects want done.
-make sure that I have students excited about this project
-the worked sights see a light of love from our students
-what we do is different.
5) 2-3 Action: -Make sure students are aware of these different projects. (posters)

Tim Ricks, WV Wesleyan College
1) Upshur County Habitat
2) I want to strengthen our existing program by utilizing campus and community volunteers, churches, community leaders, and local governmental representatives. By tapping these resources, hopefully we can overcome our current need for financial and leadership resources.
3) By next June I would like to have at least one house completely built, by raising funds and providing labor.
4) By the end of Sept. I would like to have set up a plan with the local habitat leaders. By the end of February I would like to have raised the necessary funds. I would like to have all work completed by the end of April.
5) I can go back and research habitat as well as grant writing. I can get in contact with the local habitat to get a feel for the situation. I can contact very efficient habitats to get some ideas.
