I wholeheartedly agree that a good education starting early in life makes all the difference. It is true what Mrs. Emily Baker said on Monday night, a child's education and well-being affects us all. They are the future generation. They are the ones who will be taking care of us. Doesn't it make sense that we should first take care of them, you know, while we still can?
That is where organizations like United Way and Success By 6 come in. Their goal is to advance the common good, specifically focusing on income, education and health. Success By 6 is a program that is specifically geared toward giving children a good, quality education from an early age. Seeing as the first five years of our lives are potentially the most important learning-wise, SB6 is definitely a noteworthy program, especially since each division is uniquely tailored to the community's needs. Kids who are educated from an early age are less likely to fall behind as opposed to kids who sit idle from ages 0-5. The aforementioned are more likely to graduate and get jobs.
As for volunteer opportunities for SB6, there is a program called Better Beginnings. We would be interacting with the children, all the while encouraging child development through reading and games. We would serve as models to the kids. And let me just say that being a positive influence on a little boy or girl is one amazing thing. This is why I am considering volunteering here; there's also the fact that they don't really have volunteers yet... Oh, and the Girlfriend Gala sounded interesting! Too bad I can't go.
