INSTITUTE’S BRADLEY CENTER for PHILANTHROPY and CIVIC RENEWAL Presents a Discussion Of — EDITED TRANSCRIPT— HUDSON INSTITUTE’s BRADLEY CENTER FOR PHILANTHROPY AND CIVIC RENEWAL presents a discussion of IN THE Wednesday, September 20, 2006 • 12:00―2:00 p.m. The Betsy and Walter Stern Conference Center • Hudson Institute, 1015 15th St., N.W., Ste. 600 Without doubt, Hurricane Katrina highlighted the deficiencies of many American public institutions. This story has dominated the national headlines. But it’s also clear that America’s tradition of voluntarism and civic renewal—embodied in federal and state service programs as well as in local, grassroots, often faith-based groups—came through the storm with its reputation intact, if not enhanced. On September 20, 2006, Hudson Institute’s Bradley Center for Philanthropy and Civic Renewal brought some of the leaders of the service communities up from the Gulf Coast to tell the stories one doesn’t get from the news media. Panelists included MALCOLM JONES , city attorney for Pass Christian, Miss., DIANN PAYNE of the Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Service, KEVIN BROWN of the Trinity Christian Community in New Orleans, KIMBERLY REESE , director of service learning at Xavier University, New Orleans, and NOAH HOPKINS , team leader of AmeriCorps*NCCC in St. Bernard Parish, La. The Bradley Center’s own WILLIAM SCHAMBRA served as the discussion’s moderator. PROGRAM 11:45 a.m. Registration, lunch buffet 12:00 p.m. Welcome and panel discussion 12:45 Question-and-answer session 2:00 Adjournment THIS TRANSCRIPT WAS PREPARED FROM A TAPE RECORDING AND EDITED BY KRISTA SHAFFER.

Those of you who are familiar with our programs, this program will be a bit different. Normally, we have a conversation – an often spirited conversation – about issues of public policy at usually a pretty hifalutin level of abstraction and detachment from the real world. But one of my roles is to serve on the board of the Corporation for National and Community Service, which oversees AmeriCorps, SeniorCorps, Learn and Serve America, NCCC, and a number of other service programs that make up the constellation of federally funded service organizations. And in that capacity several of us went down to the Gulf Coast a couple of weeks ago for about forty-eight hours. When we were down there, we heard the voices of some folks who had survived the storm and were struggling to rebuild their communities. And I knew as soon as I heard them that these were voices that had to be heard in Washington.

  • Why Participate?
    Alternative Spring Break 2015 General Information Thank you for your interest in Eastern Kentucky University’s Alternative Spring Break (ASB) 2015! This 9th year of ASB promises to be as exciting and rewarding as ever, and we’re glad you’re considering spending your Spring Break week as an active citizen. What is an Alternative Spring Break Trip? An alternative spring break is a trip where a group of college students (usually 10-11) engage in volunteer service for a week. Each trip has a focus on a particular social issue, such as (but not limited to) poverty, education, public health, and the environment. Students learn about the social issues and then perform week-long projects with local non-profit organizations, around their respective issues. Alternative spring breaks challenge students to critically think and react to problems faced by members of the communities they are involved with. Being immersed in diverse environments enables participants to experience, discuss, and understand social issues in a significant way. Why Participate? The aim of the experience is to contribute volunteer hours to communities in need, and to positively influence your life. After a trip, breakers are empowered to take educated steps toward valuing and prioritizing their own communities in life choices such as recycling, donating resources, voting, etc. Students can also receive 1 hour of academic credit for this experience. 521 Lancaster Ave. 128 Powell Student Center . Richmond, KY 40475 . Phone: 859.622.3855 . [email protected] Academic Credit for Alternative Breaks! COURSE REQUIREMENTS 1.
