Week 8: Feeling Great!

Posted on July 29, 2021 by autumnford4
  • This week I took a dive into the curriculum at ROX. I read through all the curriculum and made suggestions about language, topics, and things to add. I used the data provided by ROX to figure out what issues girls are facing that ROX could focus more on. I searched for multicultural video examples that could be used in the curriculum. I looked through all the Girl’s Index Reports to identify what statistics stood out to me and could be focused more on in the curriculum. Furthermore, I tried to identify gaps in the curriculum or areas of improvement. Because the women at ROX are so knowledgeable and intelligent, it was challenging to find gaps in curriculum, areas of improvement, or items to add. 
  • I wrote up responses to the Congressional members the founder met with in 2019. I found the reports and data needed to be included in the follow ups as well.
  • Additionally, I worked on making a legislative tool kit for ROX. This tool kit would help ROX members connect with congressional members in other states as well. I gathered all the materials and sources I had used to create emails and responses to the congressional members in Ohio. I included research I found on the top things to include and remember when emailing a congressional member and advice on how to contact members by phone or mail. 
  • I finished the final editing needed for the congressional emails that I will start to send to congressional members next week!
  • Lastly, I was able to attend the Women. Service. Influence Quarterly Event. This event is hosted by a law firm that invites nonprofits to come speak and give an opportunity for their employees to get involved. I really enjoyed speaking with everyone, especially the lawyers. Because law is one of my potential future career paths, I had a great time asking the lawyers about their experiences in law school and life as a lawyer. I was truly inspired by all the women and their stories.
