Monthly Mission with Mission Change

February Monthly Mission: Share the LOVE!

Join us for our February Monthly Mission!

Saturday, February 18th

10am until 1pm

It is time to show our love to our kids in the McIntosh Projects area in downtown Albany! You know that our hearts have a special place for our inner city youth that join us in the park on the corner of 1st Ave. and N. Davis St. Our neighbors in the area have been part of our lives for over 2 years now, and are part of our family as well!

We will have LOTS of things going on at the park for a Valentine's party! Kickball games, relay games, arts and crafts, snacks, candy, and plain 'ole fellowship with one another. It has been amazing to see relationships with our kids become friendships, and see their families slowly becoming part of our lives as well.

Many of you ask why we go to the park so much, and it's simple! Our monthly missions are not a one time fix all moment. The monthly missions are hosted for relationship building and finding a place in the lives of those in need where we can continue to walk with each person out of poverty, specific situations, and plainly be there as we become concerned for our neighbors. It's the simplest moments that mean the most...and that's where are. Nothing fancy, a park...picnic blankets...snacks...games...fellowship. It means the world to someone.

NEEDS LIST:

Valentine's candy (100 kids)

construction paper (to make cards)

glitter

markers

canvas or art paper

paint brushes

acrylic paints of all colors (ESPECIALLY: red/pinks/black/white)

DIRECTIONS TO PARK:

Go down 3rd Ave. around the lime sink until it turns into 2nd Ave. As you head down 2nd Ave. turn RIGHT onto N. Davis St. and go to the stop sign at 1st and Davis. You will see the park on your left. Just park on the street!

**you can bring picnic blankets and chairs for you or your group**

Shawdowing Day

In support of the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges & Universities (WHI-HBCUs), the Joint Federal HBCU Task Force will sponsor the 2012Federal Job Shadowing Dayfor Georgia HBCUs, on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 from 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Federal Job Shadowing Day aims to expose and connect students to the federal agency and profession of their interest. These professions may include, but not limited to scientists, engineers, attorneys, IT professionals, accountants, analysts, public affairs specialists, trainers, doctors, HR specialists, investigators, law enforcement officers, program administrators. Through shadowing, students can gather information about their chosen profession from someone working in the field, at his/her place of employment. Essentially, it allows students to gain a first-hand account of what it is like to be in a specific profession, within their agency of choice. The experience provides realistic career information that will aid students in preparing for and making decisions about their future careers.

This event furthers the goals of The White House Initiative on HBCUs which was first established by President Jimmy Carter in 1980, and has been renewed by each succeeding President. On February 26, 2010, President Barack Obama renewed this Initiative with Executive Order 13532. The Executive Order calls for Federal agencies to assist in strengthening the capacity of HBCUs to provide the highest-quality education, and increase opportunities for HBCUs to participate in and benefit from Federal programs.

** This event is organized by the Joint Federal HBCU Task Force, a coalition of federal agencies and HBCUs in the State of Georgia working together to advance the goals of the WHI-HBCUs. **

For more information, direct students to the Office of Career Services (located in Andrews Hall in suite 312).
