Camilla Bacolod

• Compiling community resources for CEO's participants into a prosocial activity binder and a portfolio of exercises and job coaching resources. This included cultivating relationships with service providers throughout the community.
• Practiced using the prosocial binder in mentoring, training and discussions.
• Created a database of potential grants for the organization.
• Helped onboard 28 newly enrolled participants. Assisted additional participants with mock interviews, resume writing, and researching jobs online.

“The most important thing I learned about community organizations and the social sector is the importance of collaboration. Throughout my fellowship, I observed and experienced many collaborative efforts within an organization’s staff and most importantly with people from different organizations. The social sector would not thrive without the open collaboration that I saw to make sure organizations trying to solve different problems can best accommodate the population they serve and work with.”
