My Dream Job at Pasa

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you're off to a great start this week! 😊

Today I am here to talk about a position I'd like at PASA (the Providence After School Alliance.


When looking on the "Our Team" Page, one job really stuck out to me. I really liked the idea of the After Zone Site Coordinator.

Why I like this Positon? 
I would love to be an After Zone site coordinator. I think I would enjoy working with the youth in the different middle schools across Providence. I would love to be able to support and provide assistance to front line counselors as well as youth in any way I can. I also would love to help plan site wide special activities, help students be the best person they can be, and help all thrive in a positive and supportive environment.

What are the strengths and challenges? 
A strength of being a Site Coordinator is being able to put your listening, planning, and guiding skills to the test. Site Coordinators overview what is going on with front line counselors, youth, and other workers at the site. It is important to support counselors and voice their concerns or activities that they would like to see at the site (within financial and physical limits).

A challenge of being a Site Coordinator is having a lot on one's plate at once. A Site Coordinator may have several tasks to do at once. If the site coordinator is not able to keep on top of things or organized, this can effect one's work as well as everyone who works in the organization.

Question I have? 
Are site coordinators able to plan activities for the whole site to do such as celebrations, special activities, and special guests?

    Thanks for this post Jackie. This position sounds like it could be a great fit for you. You have put a bunch of thought into the variety of skills and tasks this position requires. Who currently holds this position and what professional and educational experiences prepared them for this role?
    p.s. the text color this week was a bit challenging to read--but font size was great

Non Profits: What are those?

Image
Non Profit: Means not- for- profit. The purpose of a non -profit is not to make profit. Non- Profit Organization: An organization which is tax exempt by the IRS. They are recognized as 501(c)3 or 501(c)4 organizations. Non- Profit Organizations serve a wide spectrum of the community. Non- profits often serve youth, families, communities, college students, and many other areas. Some of the largest non-profits are hospitals and private universities. For example, PC and Rhode Island Hospital are non-profits. However there are smaller scale non-profits as well (the majority of non-profits all over the world are). You might even belong to one without even realizing it. Some of the non-profit organizations I know and belong to are the Kent County YMCA, Girl Scouts, and Theta Delta Sigma (a co-ed siblinghood). Some of these serve youth, families, and the community while others missions are to serve college aged students. A diagram to provide examples of different kinds of non- pr...

02904

For this blog post, I decided to research the zip code 02904. 02904 is a zip code used for North Providence, RI. Ironically enough, it is the zip code used for the opposite side of the town I live in. (I live in the 02911 area). When looking up information for the 02904 zip code there is approximately 29,359 people living in this area. Of these 29,359 individuals living in this area, 22.2% of them live below the poverty line. Since I am working with children, I looked up demographics about children living in the 02904 area and found school information. I looked up demographics for Marieville school, which is located in the 02904 area. The ethnic makeup for this school is 42% white. The other percentages come from various backgrounds including Hispanic, black, two or more races, Asian, American Indian/ Alaska Native, and Pacific Islander or Hawaiian Native. This ethnic background of students makes up 58% of the school. Of all of the students, 63% come from low income families.
