Sam Lovett-Perkins Senior Capstone: Community Involvement Club

Posted by Sam Lovett-Perkins in Capstone - Dunn on Thursday, May 30, 2013 at 7:59 pm

The purpose of a Capstone project is to express them sum of information and experiences I’ve learned from being a student at Science Leadership Academy. I hoped to incorporate that in my project, the formation of a service community organization called SLA: Community Involvement Club. The reasoning behind this project is due to the personal impact that volunteer work has had on my life and a lack of opportunity inside of SLA. I chose to take initiative and combine my personal interest with my school community. I was starting off of a foundation made by a previous service club, meaning club meetings once a week to teach about global, local, and social issues; these were in addition to monthly weekend service projects in Philadelphia. My duties as president and coordinator involved a large amount of networking to get speakers, presentations, finding service opportunities and create education lessons to teach members. I also recorded member hours offering The Presidents Volunteer Service Award for 100 hours over the course of the year. In the end I learned a lot about the job of a coordinator and how to plan events. Through the lessons I learned to interpret information and then find an engaging way to share it with others. We ended the year with 4 members receiving the Presidential Service Award and club members completing over 500 hours of service. List of sources that I used to assist me in this project can be found here. My Process paper can be found here listing my process and how it relates to SLA core values.

Attached is my final draft of my alphabet book that I created.

For my capstone, I learned about the local Chichewa language that is spoken in Malawi and used the knowledge I gained to create an alphabet book. After visiting the village of Jembe on my buildOn trip to Malawi, I decided to continue learning about this new language that I fell in love with. I brought my template of the book to Staples where I made two spiral books. My hope is to pass on this template to the Philadelphia buildOn so that they can mass produce these books and bring them to Malawi where they can distribute them to local schools they work with.
