Susan G. Komen (SGK) is one of the most influential non-profit organizations in terms of its effort in championing their cause. We have been given the task to help rebuild their image, and offer our recommendations on how to regain public trust and support. After the defunding of Planned Parenthood (PP) and its mismanagement of dissemination of information and response, the question that strikes us was why Planned Parenthood responded to the news and actions of SGK negatively. Despite the fact that it is true, that PP was under federal investigation for mismanagement of funds. Based on the knowledge we gain from analyzing scholarly article, video recommendations and records of communication between SGK, PP and the public, our group propose
After bonding with a homeless man, Elise Elliot expressed her empathy towards the homeless in a newspaper article, prompting that it’s time to “Bring a little warmth to the homeless’. Given their dire lifestyle and living conditions, Elliot encourages fellow Australians to make a small gesture towards the homeless and take action towards our less fortunate compatriots. As Elliot aims to convince Australians that the homeless are weak and vulnerable, she opens her statement with an emotive response to the recent murder of the homeless Wayne "Mouse Peer . By using the words "stabbed to death" and “worried about him”, Elliot aims to demonstrate the severity of the issue, further highlighting the “ambos attended to his slashed face’’ Elliot also puts into perspective the constant danger for the homeless with the phrase “Easy prey for drunk and bored thugs”.
One of the organizations I am proud to donate to is the United Service Organizations, or USO. Since 1941, the USO has supported troops at home and abroad. With the intent to lift the spirits of troops and their family members, the organization endeavors to provide a “home away from home” feeling for all the families dealing with the rigors of serving overseas. The organization became famous for its Camp Shows over the years--with some occurring in active war zones. To make this all possible, the USO relies heavily on private donations.
The Salvation Army organization began in England, in1865, by William and Catherine Booth (The Salvation Army). Before the start of the Salvation Army William Booth walked the streets of London, England preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to the poor, hungry, homeless and less fortunate. (Walker, 2001) The formation of the Salvation Army began due to the church leaders having disagreements with Booth by not participating in the traditional methods of the conventional concepts of the church (Walker, 2001). The Salvation Army began with Booth and his wife holding series of evangelistic meetings and services in set up tents.

In 1865, Abraham Lincoln gave his 2nd Inaugural Address to the people of the United States. As the speech came to a close, he stated, “To care for him who shall have borne the battle” (Lincoln 2).

However, 153 years later, 40,000 United States Veterans are living on the streets or in homeless shelters.
When I first stumbled upon this scholarship from the American Legion, I knew right away that I wanted to apply for it because of the similarities between what the American Legion and what I both stand for. I few words that I would use to describe the American Legion and myself would be, service, integrity, and hard work. These are a few things that I take very seriously and attempt to involve in my life everyday. I pride myself on these high character traits and try to use them in my community, during sporting events, at home, and at my school. I also implement these traits while fulfilling my civic duties by doing service around my community.
I have a wide variety of experiences that I know will be of great asset to The United Way. In my most recent position I was working with a start-up and know what it is like to be with a growing organization. With this start-up, I’ve had to immerse myself in learning complex systems in a limited amount of time. It’s allowed me to refine the way I approach obstacles, so I can absorb and apply the information to best serve the company. Reflecting on my previous positions, I know that I was the happiest when I was involved in an organization called Break the Barriers.

And now, thanks to a generous donor, each pledge can be matched with $1 to help provide 11 meals up to $20,000.
My reasons for wanting to serve Peace Corps Volunteer are personal and intellectual. First of all, I want to share the knowledge I have acquired throughout my life by making myself available and becoming part of something bigger. I’ve had the opportunity to attend school and I recently completed a graduate degree; this has been a great accomplishment not only for me, but for my family as well. Therefore serving as a PCV would be a rewarding experience not only for me but for those who have supported me throughout my life, since I will contribute towards a bigger cause by helping to improve the lifestyle of less fortunate people. After successfully receiving a graduate degree, it is expected that I find a permanent job related to my field of
Community Responsibility & Engagement Community development is about helping people to improve the quality of their lives. It refers to communities and public organizations working together to achieve social justice and bring about change by identifying and meeting the community’s needs. Neighborhood organizations, councils, and HOAs can assist in engaging citizens to maintain a balance of community and neighborhood goals and interests. However, residents should work among themselves to increase citizen involvement. Local governments are unaware of many community issues and cannot solve problems alone.
