I coordinate monthly free events to the residents of the West End of New Bedford. I also attend events that occur in my community (ex. getting residents registered and out to vote, advocate for bills to be passed, & I attend Public Health events. In the summer I run a free Summer Nights program that works with the youth aging from 10 yrs. old to 14 yrs. old for six weeks. During this time I hire staff, coordinate activities, document attendance, provide meals and drinks, as well as maintain, track, and document all budgeting expenses.
