Being an organizer to me means achieving social change through collective action by

changing the balance of power. The tactics and strategies that I employ are similar to

the processes of leadership including timing the issue, deliberate planning, getting the

attention of the populace, framing the issue in terms of the desired solution, and

shaping the terms of the decision-making process.

I am planning on putting full effort, and commit to bring and use my skills to further

improve, and be of great contribution at any position given to me. Together with Luis

Urdaneta I have made it possible for certain government officials such as congressman

John Conyers to speak with the community leaders, and organizations to improve and

resolve issues in the community.

AFS is an international, voluntary, non-governmental, non-profit organization that

provides intercultural learning opportunities to help people develop the knowledge, skills

and understanding needed to create a more just and peaceful world. AFS enables

people to act as responsible global citizens working for peace and understanding in a

diverse world. It acknowledges that peace is a dynamic concept threatened by injustice,

inequity and intolerance. AFS seeks to affirm faith in the dignity and worth of every

human being and of all nations and cultures. It encourages respect for human rights and

fundamental freedoms without distinction as to race, sex, language, religion or social

status. AFS activities are based on our core values of dignity, respect for differences,

harmony, sensitivity and tolerance. Adopted at the 1993 World Congress, these

techniques of building cultural bridges have been used by AFS since then.

I peruse the mission of providing quality intercultural learning opportunities for a growing

number of young people, families, other stakeholders and wider audiences, thus

developing an inclusive community of global citizens determined to build bridges

between cultures. As the orientation coordinator my duty is to make sure that every

single aspect of the exchange program is running smoothly. This mean I must join a

group of other people such as the volunteer coordinator, student liaisons, and host

parents to come up with the right orientation for the exchange students. Being the

coordinator I must have well communication skills, as well as leadership.

Lieutenant Gerald Robinson.

“Engaged Community Changing the Environment”

Together with the community of South West Detroit, and with the help of the police

department of such region I have contributed in various ways to help improve the

community; ECCE is one of them.

L ieutenant Robinson and I have implemented new techniques to just as dozens of

congregations have undertaken an effort to create "safe zones" in numerous

neighborhoods, people living in south west Detroit go ahead and engage other people

i nto changing the neighborhood and making i t a more secure environment for

everyone. Congregation members go door to door to interview residents about crime

" hot spots" in their neighborhood in an effort to eliminate drugs, gangs, abandoned

buildings and prostitution. Congregations have conducted dozens of community

meetings to hold law enforcement accountable to following up on complaints.

T hrough this process over 100 drug houses have been raided and millions in cash,

weapons and drugs have been confiscated. Every month a representative of the

Detroit Police Department hosts a brief meeting in which I tu rn in all the surveys

collected along with a report in which I create an excel document to represent and

show the most crime occurring in the community as well as where, and how these

c rimes are happening.

B ring justice to our neighborhoods by emphasizing the importance of the

students’ educational completion
