Class #11 Post

First, we discussed the only grant proposal we received, which was from the Lowell Community Health Center (LCHC). The general consensus of the class was that we liked their proposed project and it aligned well with our own goals, but a few felt that the project may have been designed just to get a grant from us. The scores we gave the LCHC on our rubric ranged from 48 to 58 out of 61 with an average score of 54. Next, we discussed each one of the organizations that were nominated by a member of the class. At the end of the discussions, we voted on which organizations should be considered for a grant which are the following: Mental Health Association of Greater Lowell, South Bay Community Services, UTEC, Wayside Youth and Family Support Network, and Lahey Health Behavioral Services. Then, we discussed our upcoming service project at the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Lowell and finalized most of the remaining details. Lastly, we met with our partner for the service project and worked out the details on how we were going to run our station.
