Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below (150 words or fewer).
For my Boy Scout Eagle Project, I wanted to do something that would positively benefit the entire community, but at the same time have a lasting impact afterwards. Working with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department at Industry Station, I initiated a Community Awareness Program for my community. My project consisted of creating and distributing pamphlets that contain a variety of safety resource contacts for students and families. I also took the opportunity to promote the Sheriff's Department's new community text messaging alert system called Nixle. Communicating daily with educational, police, and government administrators, and organizing Boy Scouts together to disseminate pamphlets throughout the community was a stressful, yet fresh and invaluable experience. When I began my project, I wanted to do something positive and lasting for the community. Instead, I also did something positive and lasting for myself: I acquired the priceless experiences of management, leadership, and communication.
