Main Street Philanthropy has turned out to be a great experience. My group had some difficulty debating who we would donate our money to. In the end we picked Say San Diego and Just In Time because we felt like these organizations really fit our purpose, mission, and vision statements. Say San Diego was a big one for us because they have a variety of different programs that really interested us and we all agreed it was a great organization. Just In Time was the one I liked a lot because they focused on the youth that have come out of foster care systems. What they do is help these young kids to become college bound and help them financially on what they needed help with.
At first working with my group was pretty difficult because we all hadn't worked together before. We tried our best getting our work done in time but slacked off a bit. In the end I was glad we all put our heads together and got through any of our obstacles. I was surprised that we actually got an awesome score on our PowerPoint presentation so because of that I'm extremely proud of my group members.
I'm looking forward to delivering the checks because I feel like the effort and time we put into this is finally paying off. I hope that our field trip to these organizations is fun and that we all are proud of our accomplishments.
