This is what I hope to be the start of a series of posts reflective of the time as a practitioner on the ground level with non profit organizations.
To give myself come credentials I begun working with faith based communities in 1994 and have since been involved in a meaningful way with over 20 community/ civic minded agencies and have had tangible impacted over 20,000 peoples lives. How do I define meaningful? I am looking for those experiences I have had where I have been involved either in a substantive (40+/hr/week) for at least 2 months or have had consistent(2+/hr/ week) involvement spread over one or more years.
My first paid position was with a community theater in 2002 and the need to generate community change has not gone away. In this post as I work to credential myself and begin to think of how to arrange my thoughts I have generated the following list of my organizational involvement, the approximate time and my general thoughts on how many lives I have impacted (really much like my resume without bullet points of accomplishments).
