Action Plan
Short Term Accomplishments
- Discussed with and interviewed Ms. Lily Qi, Montgomery County Executive's Office's Asian Community Liason, about the issues and needs within the Asian American community (October 2011).
- Created and pitched the venture idea to a LearnServe panel (December 2011). Received feedback and revised the idea accordingly.
- Contacted and discussed the idea with Mrs. Ruyan Teng, director of C&T Youth Technology Academy and leader in the Chinese American community (January 2012). She offered her full support and C&T as a venue to hold our seminars!
- Developed a budget and plan for the year (February 2012).
- Recruited team members: Kevin, Jennifer, Yizhen, and Lily (February/March 2012). We attended Team Week at LearnServe and planned for the March seminar.
- Held our pilot seminar at C&T on Sunday, March 25th, from 1:30-3pm. Our topic was communication within the family and we invited Dr. Ling L. Wu, psychologist, as our speaker. The turnout was around 10-12 people, though mostly parents, but not a bad start!
Long Term Goals
(The remainder of) 2012
We hope to incorporate family-oriented community service activities into the project as well. The summer would be an ideal time to encourage our families to volunteer and give back to the community while strengthening the bonds we've built. We are currently working on building partnerships (with Chinese schools, community organizations, and local businesses) for publicity, fundraising, and volunteer opportunities.
2013
We envision ourselves expanding to address the cultural gaps within other communities as well, even though we started as an organization focused on serving the Chinese American community to keep the project feasible for the first year. We
could ask next year's LearnServe fellows, if they are interested in tackling cultural issues, to start a new branch of Cultural Crossroads.
