Senior Project

My project is centered around service and serving the community. I have always had a passion for making the world a better place and giving to others. Since I was little, I have been helping volunteer at my dad's organization, the CFM Foundation, running events for my aunt's organization, Our Children Making Change, and helping other organizations like Friendship Circle and Peace Players, who build connections and raise money in many different communities. This project will help me learn about specific ways leaders of organizations are  improving their communities and how I can help give back to the world as well. For the first two weeks of this project, I will be in Cleveland doing remote work for the Greater Boston YMCA that my mentor, Mr. David Shapiro, runs. I will also be working with organizations in Cleveland and learning from the amazing people in those organizations. While I am in Cleveland, I will be working with Emily Thome, CEO of the Third Bank Foundation, and going to events and pitches to learn about Philanthropy and how corporations give to their communities and missions. Later on, I will travel to Boston and shadow Mr. Shapiro as I see firsthand how the YMCA helps families in the city of Boston. I will learn about service, leadership in service, and how to make the greatest impact. Mr. Shapiro is going to take me to each of the branches that work with the city at the Y, and I will work with people there to learn and help out in any ways that I can. I am super excited to start this project and continue learning how to make the world a better place with an action plan to accomplish that mission. I am so passionate about the work these people are doing, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from them.

Because of my lacrosse playoff schedule, my Boston trip got pushed back a few days, but on Thursday morning, I finally flew out. Before going, they tasked me with researching other YMCA’s work with the local police. I found articles, wrote summaries on how different YMCAs have done this work, and compiled them into a slideshow. For example, the Greater Cleveland YMCA partnered with the NBA to host basketball challenges with ten police officers and thirty residents. After creating this, I woke up at 4:45 AM, went to the airport, and hopped on a 6:30 flight to Boston. I was super excited for this trip because not only is Mr. Shapiro an amazing leader and mentor, but he is also my uncle. Since I was really little, I have seen him commit so much of his life to service and the world. He went from being the head of Mentor now to the head of the Greater Boston YMCA, and it has always been a goal of mine to learn from and be like him. So, I got to stay with my family in Boston and learn from h...

The following days, we headed to the Y around 7:00 AM. He toured me around the building and taught me its rich history. The YMCA we were at (Huntington Ave) was the first YMCA built in America. Europeans brought the concept of the YMCA over from Europe over a hundred years ago and established it for the first time in the states in Boston. He also taught me how the memberships work at the Y. He told me that it is a need-based system: if you can pay more for a membership, you pay more; if you can not pay at all or much, then you do not have to. The money they make from memberships goes right back into the work they do, and part of that is covering the memberships of those who do not have the ability to pay for the Y’s services. When he was touring me around, he taught me about all of the different things they have at the Y. He showed me classrooms where they hold sessions to teach people who need it, and actually, right now, those rooms and the teen center are being used to help newcomer...

     On my first day last week, I went with Emily Thome, who works at the Third Federal Foundation, to a meeting with a man who wanted to share about his non-profit and talk about potential funding. I went early and talked a lot with Mrs. Thome about Third Federal and the foundation. She explained to me the rich history of Third Federal, the bank, and her responsibilities as the person who runs the foundation. Every year, Third Federal devotes millions to helping their non-profit partners and serving their mission. They state, “Third Federal Foundation exists to strengthen communities and improve the conditions that make home ownership possible, supporting efforts centered on affordable housing, financial stability, accessible education, and thriving neighborhoods.” Mrs. Thome is responsible for finding amazing organizations that relate to this mission and making sure the foundation’s funding goes to the right places. She explained to me how difficult it can sometimes be ...
