I have done many different tasks while working at Voices from the Gaps. Most of my work has been done by using technology, rather than working with people. Although, I have had to interact with the other people at VG. Most of my work has consisted of using a computer. I have created a Facebook group.
Check out the new Facebook groupI have also worked on multiple projects. I made a VG flier, transcribed an interview, and emailed about 500 professors at the U of M about the new VG page.
Although I don't see a direct result from my volunteer work, like I would if I was working one on one with a young student, I do know that my work is helping VG. Maria Damon, my adviser, and Josh Capodarco consistently tell the group supporting VG how integral our assistance has become and how much we've accomplished. Their feedback confirms my work is helping the organization. I do a lot of behind the scenes stuff, most of it is what keeps the site going.
Since I wasn't as involved with people, there is a challenge to see what effect my work has, but I have really gotten the word out about VG by using a Facebook group and creating a flier, and those dreadful emails. I have helped VG tell people about its new site, which was recently redone using Dreamweaver. The site has come along way, and with my little effort, it will continue to flourish.
