Reflection #4

How am I impacting the team and are we working well together?

I absolutely believe that our team works well with each other. We honestly like each other and enjoy working with Just in Time for Foster Youth. The girls and I have been consistent during our project and have followed our group norms. We always stay in communication and are respectful towards each others ideas. I really enjoy working with them because we have such different personalities that mix up in a perfect way. We like to laugh and enjoy each others company. I think that our "My First Home Project" is going to be really successful and thats because we work so well with each other. We bounce ideas off each other and try to think of new ideas. I also like how we all are dedicated to the project so none of us are slacking off.

About the program...

The Young Women's Leadership Program (YWLP) is offered at the San Diego Campus of the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL). This summer, 13 highly motivated high school juniors and seniors girls have a unique opportunity to attend a leadership development program, followed by a four-week community service project!
This is an opportunity to apply what they have learned and to practice newly developed skills. The girls joined a team and partnered with a local community organization to present an issue to be solved by each team. Each team is encouraged to take ownership of the project and brainstorm the best approach to address the community challenge.
