My approach to this website
My goal here is to both showcase the idea, facts that support its mission, and to assess the feasibility of this as an actual business model. The blog turned out to be an excellent way to convey student topics while letting the website be a voice for the organization.
My awe and appreciation goes to the Annie E Casey Foundation, Youth.org and all of the people working to catch those falling through the cracks of our social service system.
