- What local problem/issue does this organization work to help/solve?
- Do a little research or have a conversation with someone at the organization. How common is the problem/issue you addressed in the WNC (or what are the statistics? Ex: How many homeless, food insecure people, etc.). How does it compare to the statistics for your home town/county?
- What specific activities did you engage in during this event/at this organization?
- What new things did you learn as a result of participating in this event? It could be a skill, new knowledge about the problems in WNC, etc.
