Camp Boggy Creek Service Impact, Madeleine E. Hoffman, Elle M. Bouffard
High Impact Practices Student Showcase Fall 2023
Our service learning project focused on working with children who have special needs. Our volunteer work was completed at Camp Boggy Creek, a non-profit camp devoted to providing a “typical” camp experience for children with medical issues or disabilities. We completed 35 hours of service while supporting children and their families as they came to camp and stayed for a weekend of fun activities and relaxation. This experience has allowed us to realize the impact that special needs can have on a child and their families. The difficulties these families may face (whether it be emotionally, physically, or monetarily) can …

What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?, Alissa Johnson
High Impact Practices Student Showcase Fall 2023
The purpose of my project is to explain my point-of-view of how 4310 Service-Learning: Marine Conservation & Restoration has changed my outlook of this career field and how its influenced me to want to continue in this major. I discuss how three amazing women teach me about oysters (Katherine Harris, Tara Blanchard, and Kelsey Mack) and how they found their voice in a male heavy career field. I also touch on the opportunities I took like mangrove gardening, trail camera footage of Cape Canaveral, and a beach clean-up, just to name a few and how the community plays a huge …
The Importance Of Mental Health Amongst The Lgbtq+ Community, Adrian Perotin
The Importance Of Mental Health Amongst The Lgbtq+ Community, Adrian Perotin
High Impact Practices Student Showcase Fall 2023
When it comes to the LGBTQ+ community, it has become known with more studies and research that many in the community have suffered through traumatic experiences regarding sexual assault and/or violence. This has caused a big impact on the mental health of the victims, but because there is not enough resources to the LGBTQ+ community that are open to them, those victims have a hard time recovering or feeling seen. Amongst the community are of course the youth coming in from the next generations that may unfortunately deal with these issues in safety and mental health, so they deserve to …

Caring 4 The Kids Of Chs, Courtney Williams
High Impact Practices Student Showcase Fall 2023
The purpose of my project is to spread awareness, knowledge, and spread the excitement I had from doing this. The biggest takeaway from this experience is that it is very easy to help someone. It doesn't take much all of my supplies was from the dollar store. I was more excited about the kids seeing my creative skills than anything. I also want to normalize the fact that people struggle and its a human thing. Sometimes we need help and it is very much okay to give without expecting something back in return.

The Journey Of Special Education In Montessori Schools, Hailee Cipollina
International Professional Development Schools
I am an Exceptional Education major and I’ve always had a passion for learning more about special education. When I found out I was traveling to the Dominican Republic with our International Professional Development School (IPDS) program, I knew I wanted to look at the differences in their special education services and supports that are provided in their Montessori schools and the services and supports provided at a Montessori school in Buffalo.

The purpose of this project is to volunteer and help the patients at the downtown Shepherd’s Hope clinic.

Knight-Thon, Yael Litwak
High Impact Practices Student Showcase Fall 2023
Knight-Thon is something I have been passionate about since the beginning of my experience at UCF. I discovered Knight-Thon through my sister, who had been involved during her college years, and soon followed her footsteps to become involved. I discovered this passion through my sorority's team and am now serving on an Impact Team to further my time, support and involvement in Knight-Thon. I have learned so much about the operations, behind the scenes with the Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, and working and meeting the miracle families. I have loved my time getting to further my love …

Volunteering At An Elementary School, Kaila R. Sobol
High Impact Practices Student Showcase Fall 2023
For this service learning project, I chose to volunteer at Timbercrest Elementary School, my community partner, in Deltona, Florida. Before selecting my service project, I did research regarding parts of my community that needed volunteers to help out. I discovered an article by SF Ed Fund named "5 Reasons to Volunteer in a School" which focused on how "underfunded and understaffed" public schools are. I volunteered approximately eight hours a week at Timbercrest, moving between different classrooms and helping out multiple teachers. While volunteering there, I administered and graded tests, inputed grades, worked with students in small groups, and lead …

The Special Needs Camporee is an event created to unite the community. This event specifically caters towards children with disabilities and their families. At this event we had numerous activities such as fishing, boat rides, games, traditional Indian dancing, and much more. I was the chairman of this event; therefore, I led the event with the help of others. Some of the tasks we had to accomplish to make sure this event was successful were recruiting volunteers and creating a program. We had to reach out to numerous organizations to ask for volunteers. We had over 300 plus volunteers. Regarding …
