Youth And Community Development Facilitator
Morocco
During my two years in the Peace Corps, I fully integrated into my small town community by learning Moroccan Arabic, adapting to cultural norms, and working with community partners to provide community services. I designed and taught programming that focused on employability, problem solving skills, English, physical health, and respecting others that impacted a total of 280 youth and 100 women throughout my service. To implement each program I participted in the full spectrum of project planning, including analyzing community needs, writing curriculum, advertising programs, recruiting students, teaching sessions, and reporting results. I also wrote a blog about my experiences that was updated at least once monthly for two years.
