What's Happening SEEED Fam!!!!!!!

         This is John here, the new Social Media and Events Coordinator at SEEED. It's been a crazy, busy second week over here at Morningside Community Center. We began our week meeting with senior program associate Jennifer Alldredge with the Alliance to Save Energy non-profit. Tuesday, we headed over to the Urban League and let me tell you.....These Kids!!!! I don't know who was teaching who about weatherization and sustainability. A few have volunteered with us at SEEED, and it was great to see a change of philosophy in some of these young people.

 

       Additionally, Lee and I went over to the Lawson Mcghee Library to look for grant opportunity which will be a great resource for us, SEEED, and the community in the near future. Wednesday, the Just Lead program and our Emerald Youth Foundation partners brought around 20 youth's to began our first day of life skills training, and this is what it's all about. We strive to create pathways out of poverty for young adults and this life readiness program will give them the fundamental tools they need to succeed. To say the least, it was a great first day !!! 

           The second half of the week has been filled with one on one meetings with our supervisor Anya, goal setting for the upcoming month, after action reviews, and other administrative type jazz. OH! I almost forgot. SEEED is now looking for an accounting intern, for which Lee put a posting to on Hire-a-VOL. That being, if anybody is looking for a great opportunity to work for a great organization come down and visit us over here as SEEED. Until next time. SEEED. OUT.
