Park Place Commitment

Our responsibility as an emergency youth worker is to deal with our youth's protection

requirements in Savannah. We are focused on giving sanctuary to those in need. Our goal is to

assist Savannah's youth until they fully recover and can return home. We demonstrate this

commitment in our mission statement.

Park Place Operation

Our youth will receive registration services, residence administrations, data, family reunification,

and individual client administrations during the operations stage. Staff in the shelter help child

with meeting their crisis needs and assist them with creating rehabilitation plans.

Park Place Staff Responsibilities

Shelter Manager: Provides supervision and administrative support at the shelter; ensures that

shelter residents are safe and that their needs are met.

Shift Supervisor: Provide supervision and administrative support at the shelter under the

guidance of the shelter manager, as part of the shelter management team.

Residence workers: Assign residents to rooms and coordinate with Logistics or the shelter

manager to procure supplies necessary for shelter dormitory.

Project Description

For the project assisting Park Place with their volunteer program, we plan to use virtual

platforms to connect the organization with community members. Our group tried to imagine an

updated extended protocol for their volunteerism for the Park Place Project that will coincide

with what they are already doing. By looking through their social media and their volunteer

sign-up sheet, we could see how a virtual orientation would be beneficial. After the volunteers

are accepted as staff, they can review a link to a video with a tour of the building and in-depth

explanations of what needs are required of volunteers. Depending on the core values and mission

of Park Place, the volunteers can choose pre-established activities that they can do with the teens

there. For example, female mentoring, virtual game night, virtual tutoring, virtual storytelling,

virtual art, etc... These are basic things that can be 1-hour sessions where all teen residents who

sign up and participate can share their perspectives.

Workshops

Female Empowerment Workshop enables ladies and young ladies through tutoring, self-love,

social change, and pre-professional skills workshops that support women by associating with the

everyday world in a convincing and groundbreaking way. The workshop will impact and

influence young girls to see themselves in a powerful light. We intend to mold young women

into future leaders while strengthening their confidence. We want to distinguish their qualities

and shortcomings and improve them. We will leave their comfort zone by incorporating

exercises and progress into the significance of declaring their voices and how to do this viably.

We expect to create an environment where young ladies can become leaders.

Tutoring is an incredible path for children. We can enhance or improve those who are struggling

with subjects. We intend to assist with essential skills. We also plan to help improve advanced

material. We investigate the fundamental barriers that children face when figuring out how to

problem solve and figure out how they draw in with the material from their viewpoint.

Communication skills can serve as a student speaking up when not understanding and asking

questions instead of the usual "head nod" to signal that they know what was just taught to them

instead of just agreeing they know the material and regret it later tutorial or class. In addition to

tutoring, there are online resources available to help, for example, YouTube and Khan Academy.

This workshop will allow students to examine their past work and build up a strategy for

handling their schoolwork. Each subject will include a lesson plan incorporate time management

skills.
