For this research project, I decided to do the alternative method by going out and bettering the community. I volunteered at my old church for the Hypothermia Prevention Program in Fairfax County. I’ve been volunteering for practically my whole life, but with the foundation of this class and the knowledge I’ve learned about power, I began to think about it differently this year than in previous years. I always have a great time helping out with the program, and I feel as if I’ve really helped out the community, but the program only offers temporary changes to the homeless, not reaching towards permanent changes to the homeless community.
