Project Summary: I was placed with the Multicultural Business Development Group, or MBDG for short, at State Farm. We focused on the African-American, Asian, Hispanic and Women market segments of State Farm. I worked primarily on the Hispanic young adult initiatives, helping create a video and organize a group of individuals who give great insight into this area. The theme of my project at the American Red Cross of the Heatland was to reorganize and reengergize the chapter for, behind, and about youth. I helped create a brochure hghlighting all of the current free class options for youth in the community, and helped push the communication through hand-outs and updates on the website. We also recruited and created an annual plan for a teen club. Finally, I helped plan the Volunteer Day which connected other non-Wesleyan interns at State Farm to the American Red Cross.
