Rough Draft about a Community Organization

Your paper should be creative and interesting, and demonstrate what you have learned about the community organization of your choice.  It should be a minimum of 5 pages in length and you will use APA style formatting with a title page and reference section.  You should use Times New Roman, 12pt. font, double-space your lines, and set your page up with one inch margins (See the APA Template included in the Course Resources folder)

Your assignment should be well-organized and demonstrate an orderly flow of information that clearly addresses the subject chosen.  In addition to the above criteria, your final project should include the following elements:

The Community Organization: Clearly indicate the focus of the organization and the community needs that the organization wants to address. A brief historical background of the organization should also be included.

• Discuss any community partnerships that they have.  Suggest additional partnerships that you feel they should have.
• Explore how the cross-cultural challenges and humanitarian considerations are involved.
• Demonstrate how the organization uses volunteers and the economic benefits associated with this (not just “free labor”).
• Illustrate any roadblocks that the organization has faced or potential could face and how they did or might find solutions.
• Describe the organization’s vision for the future.
• Indicate what areas in which you feel the organization could improve.  What challenges (technological, political, economic, laws and regulations, community-based initiatives, educational, etc.) will they need to overcome?
• Discuss potential ways you might be able to contribute to the organization.  How could your own interests, talents, and skills benefit this organization?

Research:

• You will need to include a minimum of ten (10) sources to support your project claims.
• Additionally, you will need to ensure the sources you choose are no more than five (5) years old.

Writing:

• Title your Project
• Introduction: Begin with the attention-getter, tie in the background information, and end the introduction with your thesis. 
• Body:
• • Clearly identify the topic of each section. The topic must be a statement, not a question, and should begin with your own ideas and your own words.
  • After identifying your topic, use quotations or paraphrase from your sources to help illustrate the point you are making (be sure to identify the author(s) and source(s)).
  • After you have given support, spend a sentence or two explaining how the example(s) support the section topic.
  • A compilation of your research, your literature review, your methods, (how the data was collected or generated and analyzed), and your results should be included in the body of your project.

• Conclusion:
• • Restate your thesis.  This means that you say about the same thing as you did in your thesis, but you say it differently. 
  • After stating your thesis, restate the topics from each of your body sections and emphasize what is important for your audience/readers to remember.
  • End your conclusion with a call to action that illustrates what your audience/readers should do with the information you presented.
