NALC Meeting 3

Unfortunately, since the meeting period was canceled due to the student pulling out, I was confined to doing desk work and filing. The good news is, I personally feel there is value in highlighting what exactly my purpose was in volunteering for that full hour before my next 11 a.m. session. I filed numerous documents that gave updates to over countless students. It was impressive to see the checks and balances set up by the NALC. Before I was required to files these documents, an employee sorted through all the lesson plans and progress of the students in order to secure positive growth for each student. I found value in understanding that ethics should always be promoted at all levels of an organization, more so in volunteer opportunities than anything else because of the importance of social programs. I also was able to print out just as many certificates of achievement for merits of academic achievement. Giving positive reinforcement to certain students recognizes their efforts and progress through the program. NALC provides an opportunity for students to solidify their English and literacy skills, prepping them for GED and job opportunities simultaneously and for the future. I was excited going into my next session.
