I was excited this week to hear about our next upcoming project: The Service Via Video Project. After coming back from winter break, the teachers of my Dig Cit class have decided to get us back in the swing of things by volunteering/partnering with local non-profit charities or organizations.
My partner, Cole, and I were given the organization Turn Two for Youth. Locally based, T2FY collects new and used baseball and softball equipment that they give to teens all over the globe. Their organization has had collection up and down the east coast, ranging from Philadelphia to Florida. Our job is to create a video that T2FY could use to display their Junior Ambassadors program. Lucky for us, another student at our school, Jacob, volunteered to help us out with the video production. Jacob is quite the expert with the video and will be a great addition to our project!
As I was looking on the T2FY website and I saw that they were partnered with Chick-fil-A. I am a team member at Chick-fil-A and I have developed some amazing relationships with the upper management there. I hope to use my influence to sponsor a baseball equipment drive at my Chick-fil-A location and possibly other chick-fil-a locations across the Charlotte area. What an opportunity to help others.
