was your initial impression of this service-learning assignment; which organizations did
you consider before making a final decision; where is the organization located and what is
its stated mission; while volunteering, did you gain a better view the organization’s mission;
what service did you provide, why, what amount of time, and how useful do your think it
was; what information or insights about the organization did you gain; in your assessment,
how does the organization’s mission relate, if at all, to such Africana Studies imperative and
concerns about “relevance,” “social concerns,” “ethic of sharing,” etc.as you understand
them. What, if any, value did volunteer in this manner held for you?Do attach relevant

“community development,” “human advancement” or “societal injustices/inequity”?Focus

Learning midterm report by further exploring, detailing, and assessing how your chosen
career field, or your personal participation in same, can be shaped by Africana Studies
imperatives.At least 90 points on both midterm report and final paper, required. I
volunteere at my job during my days off. I work at DYRS in Washington DC, which is a
juvenile detention center. I volunteered with enrichment programs (you could make uo
any) most of the population there is 99% African American.What I learned is that our
African American youth really need guidance (if you could help me word that better please.)
They need preventive programs that would step in before our youth see that crime is the
answer. (if you could help me word that better) and cite some youth programs you feel
would help solve the crime rate in Washington DC.I volunteered 1 hr a day for 4 days at my
job, nonpaid. I worked on the male and female unit.Feel free to add what else you feel is
needed and ask ne any questions
