21st CLSP Goals and Objectives: Spring 2011

The following is an inventory of the goals and objectives that I am focused on achieving within the 21st CLS Program this semester. Though I know that often as an individual makes progress on a project, goals and objectives may become different from when the project was started. I'll keep this in mind and I plan to make updates when/if my perspective changes...

I have a couple of general goals that I will focus on achieving through my projects this semester. The first is to acquire the ability to effectively evaluate obstacles and problems, and make critical decisions to alleviate them. My objectives for achieving this goal include communicating with my fellow interns and the facility staff to gather information about the needs of their community, finding out why those needs are not being met, and searching for solutions to meet those needs. I want to learn how to effectively manage/co-manage group projects. I am working to co-organize and facilitate the ALISS Book Drive with the other officers of the organization in order to reach this goal.

My more specific leadership goals are to maintain a connection with the Theodora House community in order to ensure that my project outcomes remain consistent with its needs, and to promote my interest and service for literacy development with the residents. In order to achieve these goals I have set aside time in my weekly schedule to allow for interested women in the facility to request help with developing their reading skills.
