WHAT DID WE DO OVER THE SUMMER?

18. 18
VIRTUAL TUTORING
We were working to transition to an online tutoring
program from this summer and our America Reads
program to an online platform for the fall, connecting
HWS tutors with students who are in need of some
tutoring. For that purpose we researched about different
national and collegiate tutoring programs to model ours
by picking the strengths of each program. We had a
spreadsheet with the list of tutors which had grades and
subject tutors were willing to tutor and the parents had
access to it too. They would choose the tutor then who
they think is a good match for their kid.
Since America Reads and other tutoring options cannot
be held in person in the following semester, we’re hoping
to continue this virtual tutoring registry along with some
other options in the fall.

Different posters were made to be distributed in Geneva elementary, middle, and high school,
so tutors could be contacted for this Summer Virtual tutoring Program.

In addition, we assisted
with the Bike Donations
with @connectgeneva! Bik
es were collected with the
help of Geneva Bike
centre and Geneva police
and were repaired(if
needed). The bike
giveaway then happened
in the recreational centre
and nearly 80 bikes were
given away . IT made it to
the fl times too which was
pretty exciting!

23. 23
With this Internship I came to know more about CCESL’s efforts towards the community’s betterment
and about the Geneva community itself. I remember, when we were collecting the bikes,
people would come up to us inquiring about what’s happening and taking
pictures of us because they were so proud of what we were doing for the community, and it was so heart
warming because this just goes to show how tight knit of a community Geneva is and people actually care
about each other and they know what’s happening in the city.

30. Blueprint Geneva: Public Gardens
Olivia Torres-Fields and Zerina Makhdoomi

31. What is Geneva Blueprint?
Blueprint Geneva is a non-profit
organization
Mission statement: “BluePrint
Geneva, Inc. was formed formed in
2016 to test new concepts in
housing, utilities, technology, and
sustainability to grow and
interconnected an economically-
empowered community.
Our projects test, evaluate, and retool strategies to meet the needs of homeowners and renters
in Geneva, with a focus on building equity, confidence, and civic capacity within traditionally
under-represented and under-resourced groups.”

32. What Do We Do
This summer, we created beautiful signs to bring the attention of the community to the gardens. We made
these pieces of art from scratch in the woodshop on the HWS arts campus. We wanted to make sure that
they looked welcoming so that people could feel welcome and withstand the test of time. To help up with
this project, Professor D’Angelo from the Art and Architecture department gave her expert advice and
guidance with using tools. We also had some help from the junior interns that help at the gardens with
painting signs and designs on flower cutouts. Another task we have is to posts on the public gardens
Facebook page to spread more awareness of the gardens existence and update the community on any
projects/events we have in store!

33. Signs!!!

34. More Signs!!!!

35. What we learned/experienced:

o A chance to work outside and hands-on

36. Thank you and we hope
you had a lovely summer!!!

40.  A large part of my job was to cataloge food donations and put together orders for clients that co
who were in need of food. When a client needs food they will call our phone number, we will get th
have the correct file, give the client some options for extra food. If the client has been there in less t
can only receive the extra food. If it has been more than a month they will receive either a bag of foo
three or less, or a box for families of four or more.
Food

41. A huge part of working with an organization like the Salvation Army is gaining
good communication skills with both clients and other volunteers. When a
client calls a volunteer needs to have the utmost respect for both them and
their situation, in order to do this one must be patient, and show kindness
and respect. And most importantly must keep the anonymity of said client.
Communication

42.  Another skill I have been able to pick up from working at the Salvation army is office
skills. Since my first day my boss has been training me to fill out paperwork, do filing, and
even fill out some parts of the pantry’s statistics.
 These are both skills that will help me at every position I will hold in my future career.
Office Skills

43. On June 2, 2020 the Salvation Army held a food giveaway day. This day involved individuals
coming in large numbers to receive food. Clients would drive up in their cars and volunteers
would put boxes of food into their trunks. This was done in order to keep both volunteers and
clients safe from COVID. As well as putting boxes in clients vehicles, I also spend multiple days
sorting, counting and organizing the food that we would be giving out that day.
Food give away day!
