A book drive encouraging students to donate books children's books that they may have but not be using. These books are being donated to the headstart on campus.
Final Project Outcome
This post was on the HDFS club Instagram page advertising the project.
What I did
I assisted with setting up meeting times to make donation boxes as well as helping spread awareness to others outside the club of what we are trying to accomplish. I supported each member of the board along the way to make sure this event ran smoothly and provided input and assistance with each task. As well as ensuring we had enough support from staff and students to fulfill our goal to donate used books to the headstart.
What I learned
I learned how effective a group can be when working as a team to accomplish something. I also learned that the right motivation could influence numerous people to want to help others as well as the planet. I also learned how much support a club can offer when given the opportunity to.
What’s next for me
Next, I would like to try and continue this project while at Graduate school. I will be a student at University at Albany and aspire to spread awareness in the capital. This project was beneficial for myself and everyone around me and I hope it will be just as beneficial where I end up next. I hope the future leaders in the HDFS Club continue to hold a used book drive as well.
