I will be visiting two Transition Projects within Portland to get an idea of what sorts of projects are currently effective and being used:
– The first is the Bud Clark Commons at 665 NW Hoyt Street
– The second is Jean’s Place: 18 NE 11th Avenue
I will also be conducting multiple interviews in order to get insight on my proposed program:
– The first will be with Ben Gates at 8am on November 10th (details to follow)
– The second will be with Rachel Duke, the Manager of Operations and Partnerships at Bud Clark Commons (currently scheduling an interview)
– I hope to have multiple interviews of occupants of the Bud Clark Commons as I get to know their concerns when I volunteer
In looking over the the Transition Projects Website and stopping in Bud Clark Commons and noticing the weekly events calander I have began to list the major activities:
– Lodging – Day and Night
– Food service
– Employment Assistance
– Alcohol and Drug outpatience Programs
– Therapy – Art/Craft and Speaking
– Laundry
– Social Time – Movie nights and Bingo
This is my first attempt at a Program to include these activities:
I am currently working on a Photocollage to encasulate the emotional essence of these activities
