Post Response # 1: Hey class, I would like to enlist the March of Dimes to assist with providing support for pregnant women and mothers of small children in my community. I love this organization because they believe that all babies deserve the best possible start. March of Dimes has been around for over 80 years and has helped millions of babies. They do allot to help educate people about best practices for expecting mothers and babies. When my close friend’s son was in the NICU, they helped provide her and her family comfort and support.

On Saturday, April 18th myself and three close friends will walk three miles at City Park to help to raise funds to support research, advocacy and programs for the health of all moms and babies. I did this last year as well and it was a blast! We bring our kids and come together to celebrate our experiences and beautiful children. It brings the community together and we help raise money.

CBO’s support the community. According to the U.S. Department of Education (2004), the term community-based organization (CBO) means “a public or private nonprofit organization of demonstrated effectiveness that (A) is representative of a community or significant segments of a community; and (B) provides educational or related services to individuals in the community.” Technology has become increasingly important to manage operations and develop solutions.

Post Response 2: Hello Everyone, I have chosen the Autism Society as my community-based organization (CBO) to assist with providing services to autism in my community as this is an issue that hits close to home as a few of my friends have children with Autism. Living in small community Autism resources are not readily available as they are for cities at least 45 minutes or more away from our town. Shawano does, however, have an organization called Bridge the Gap, which does assist with this population. However, this is not enough. I would enlist the help of the Autism Society with funding to help this organization help even more people, provide services that are not yet available in the community, providing funding to not only the program but to families to afford these services and provide education for the community, among other items as well. The mission of the Autism Society of Greater Wisconsin is, “…to provide a community for individuals affected by autism, their families, and professionals who serve them. Our goal is to increase the quality of life for those affected by autism and respond to the emerging needs of the autism community” (Autism Society of Greater Wisconsin, 2020). With this mind, I would want these efforts to improve the lives of people and the families affected by autism by providing support, accurate information and resources, referrals, education, and community development. I would also enlist the help of community members and families affected by Autism to assist in writing letters as to why the help from this organization would assist in helping the community.
