Organizational/Community Needs
BWV Contribution
Weak education system that is not adapted to different learning styles and does not equip students with skills needed to succeed.
Few professional opportunities for community members, especially for those lacking English skills in an area that relies heavily on tourism.
Lack of knowledge within the community of the services offered by the organization.
Prepared and taught English classes volunteers were responsible for.
Supervised outdoor activities, helped in classroom clean-up and helped organize special events.
Conducted community survey to better understand community needs and aspirations.
Created advertizing materials to raise awareness throughout the community of the program’s services.
Set up new donated computers for community use.
