"building the capacity of public media and technology organizations"
I feel a little better about Egleston Y right now because I am just getting used to how things are run here, inefficiently. So, i am going to try my best not to accept it and to get things done; this is what i am doing:
It has been pretty busy at the Y this summer; camp for the child care program, the teen center slowly disintegrating, and the computer lab with all its wonderful programing happening.

I'd say the whole reason VISTAs are in non-profits are to make organizations/communities operate better (big caps: CAPACITY BUILDING). As VISTA's I don't think that kind of resignation is going to serve your purpose, your organization or the community you're serving any good. Grab on to that one piece you're responsible for and make it the best you can come hill or high water. That's my 2 cents after being a VISTA for 14 months.

If you need to replace any equipment maybe we can help you. Castle Square isn't too far - we don't have anything new but if you need old monitors and stuff...

Awesome Leena! Building binders and documenting what you do is one of the best practices a VISTA can have since there is a good deal of 'reinventing the wheel' with high volunteer/employee turnover each year. Definitely need to give it up for the Northeastern service-learning program....Project HQ is working with them now too!
