4/15-4/19 Week in Reveiw

Word of the week: “Meaningful”

This week, Place Corps delved into the concept of "meaningful" and its profound impact on our actions and attitudes. We explored the significance of finding meaning in what we do, recognizing that this mindset holds immense power and significance. It became evident that when we approach our tasks with a sense of purpose and care, even the smallest actions can carry great meaning. Without caring deeply about what we do, our efforts can feel pointless. This made us realize how important it is to see purpose and meaning in everything we do.

In addition to our discussions, Place Corps had the privilege of attending the UlsterCorps Service Summit at SUNY New Paltz. This event provided a firsthand glimpse into the meaningful work being done by numerous non-profit organizations in Ulster County. From discussions on climate activism to initiatives addressing recycling, repair cafes, and food accessibility, the summit showcased a diverse array of impactful projects. Engaging in roundtable sessions and listening to notable speakers from various fields further enriched our understanding and inspired us to continue our own meaningful contributions.

As we reflect on this week's insights and experiences, we are reminded of the profound impact that meaningful work can have on individuals and communities alike. We are grateful for the opportunity to participate in events like the UlsterCorps Service Summit, where we are continually inspired by the dedication and passion of those working towards positive change. 

As we continue our journey, let's keep in mind the power of meaningful actions. Every small step we take, whether in our careers or through volunteering, contributes to positive change. By caring deeply and taking action, we can collectively make a significant impact on our communities. Let's remain connected and committed to fostering meaningful change, one step at a time. 

Also, tonight Place Corps is sponsoring an exciting skate night in Accord at Skate Time from 7 to 10 PM. Come skate and have a blast! The first 50 teens get in free, so grab your friends and join us for a perfect start to the weekend!
