Suggestions for Future CP Projects


I think it would be a great CP project to work with any type of program at an alternative high school. These schools serve the most at need students and anything we can do to help improve these schools would help society. My suggestions would include helping music programs, P.E. programs, art programs, or any other programs in schools that have a tendency to have funding cut. Even finding out how to increase funding in Fine and Performing Arts in regular schools would be interesting. These are all enriching programs that unfortunately have their funding cut. Just today, I learned that the marching band/music program that I was a part of in high school only gets $550 from the local school district to operate. Yet, this program currently serves 110 musicians and performers. All of their fundraising has to be done by the booster program in order to keep the group functioning. This is an example of how program funding has been cut and the program responds. So, I suggest that someone continues to work with any school program that has funding cut. It is an enriching experience to work with youth on all accounts.
