I like that the NIA program (see first image), puts a strong emphasis on curriculum and on creative learning. I want my organization to have a strong basis in traditional pedagogy and learning theories; however, I also want to push the boundaries and encourage creative learning that students do not get in their regular schools. On the Philly Youth Programs site (see second image), there are a lot of great resources to help people find the programs they are looking for. I like the idea of creating a website that has organized resources that are actually helpful to my viewers.
In terms of contributing to this cause, I can use my background in secondary education to create a basic curriculum and to organize a daily schedule for the program. Finding the right people to help me get this program started will be key. I have a lot of great contacts who are educators across the state that can probably help me to organize the start up.
