Before entering this class I had very little knowledge about the inner workings of nonprofits, I only knew the end results. This class has changed all of that. I now know the hours of work that goes into running a nonprofit and the stress and frustration that can bring. I also know that it can be rewarding beyond belief.
Seeing the passion that many of the presenters had was really inspiring. This is not just a job for them. They truly care for and believe in what they are doing.This class has further solidified my dream of working in a nonprofit for the rest of my life.
Students4Giving is a truly unique experience.I enjoyed being able to read the grant proposals for every organization. I loved going on a site visit to see where our money would go. The fact that we were involved every step of the way was something you don't really get anywhere else.
I have had an amazing time in this class. The people I met, as well as the experiences I had will really stick with me in the future. I am sort of sad that this is the last class. I will miss seeing everyone's faces every Tuesday and Thursday.
Portland Community College Students4Giving was created in 2007 to educate and inspire a generation of engaged citizens, philanthropists, and community leaders. Student philanthropy programs are rare at community colleges, but our success has proven the power of giving voice to urban community college students from a wide spectrum of backgrounds and life experiences. Students4Giving became a Learning by Giving Foundation partner in 2016.
