Statement of Purpose

Motto

“Lending a hand to the little man.”

 

Our motto was selected because our organization, Boys Town, is dedicated to putting structure back into the youth of today. The programs offered at Boys Town here in Central Florida provide children with the assistance they need to overcome obstacles they face in their home life. Our group (Go Getters) felt that our motto was appropriate for this organization because it showcases that Boys Town strives to make a difference our community.

 

What Motivated You to Choose This Particular Project?

The team Go Getters was adamant about choosing a project that would strongly impact children of the central Florida community.  Boys Town meets our desired criteria because it is an organization driven to changing lives and promoting structure.  By fundraising to support Boys Town we effectively will be helping the organization strengthen children and families, provide a stable environment for youth, as well as offer “life-changing care.”  Thus the desire to assist an organization that promotes all of the previously mentioned ideas is fulfilled by selecting the “Boys Town” project.

 

 

Initial Impression of Client and Organization

            The initial impression of Terry Knox of Boys Town was that he was a man motivated with the cause of helping children in need. Terry Knox expressed the importance of communication with all parties throughout the project. He informed up with a history of the founder and organization as well as what Boys Town stands for today in Central Florida; the organization is not just about saving children, but also healing families.

            Our team will add value to the goals of Boys Town because we will give back. We plan on raising funds through activities which will then be given back to the organization through an event for the children of Boys Town. While meeting our monetary goals, we will also be promoting the cause and educating the public about the Boys Town organization.         

Vision of Completed Successful Project

At the completion of this project we will have met our goal of raising one thousand dollars for Boys Town. In order to achieve our goals the team must demonstrate characteristics that will aid in the completion of our teams objectives. The team must stay focused and be persistent on managing our time with scheduled events along with team meetings. Also we must work and communicate in a professional manner which will allow us to overcome any obstacles.

The funds raised will provide for an activity for the Boys Town residents and staff. We will be able to interact with the children while exposing them to a fun and enjoyable event.

Role of Lab Instructor

            As a group, we expect our lab instructor to fill the role of mentor and “cheerleader.”  As we begin this experience we know there will most likely be some speed bumps along the way.  In other words, there will be issues that perhaps we might not have any idea how to confront.  It is in these instances we will look to our lab instructor for guidance.  We know that this project is meant to be a learning experience for each of us and that there are some things we will have to work through together as a team.  However, we feel it is important to have the support and direction of our lab instructor.  She can meet these expectations by making herself available to us, being ready and eager to answer any questions we might have, providing viable feedback on our ideas and objectives, but perhaps more importantly by simply encouraging us to succeed.  This we feel, is the role of our lab instructor for the duration of this project.
