Planning for Success Event

Hello everyone!

Over the weekend I volunteered at RIC to watch the children while their parents attend the organizational event. I was hosted by a graduate student and she also does her internship at Learning 4 Life. The event was from 9-12pm and it was held in the ballroom. Students were given school supplies and there were "pop-up" stations where they learned new tools and tricks on ways to self organize their life!


The good part was that we had a lot of tools to use with the children. I also had my daughter with me and that helped the time go by :) We played games and colored with the kids. I gave them an incentive to help clean up after too lol. Candy works magic with misbehaving children.!

I included a picture of the kids dancing to the YMCA from a kids youtube video.

Examples of these groups include people with disabilities and undocumented immigrants, and people with low-income. This has led to black communities stuck in poverty highe...
