My giving goal is to be able to spend some amount of time each week doing volunteer work for a non-profit I support (e.g. teaching in the Petey Greene program) and/or to offer some of my educational services to high-need, low-income school districts and individuals for low-to-no cost. While I may one day earn a high enough income, and find an organization that I trust to put my donation towards what I think needs that support most, that I will decide that my money would make the most impact out of my hands, that day is far off and uncertain. However, if I am able to successfully found and maintain a business or non-profit providing consulting services, trainings, and resources to institutions in special education, I would put aside some of my organizations revenue from our paying partners to afford the provision of these supports to institutions that are unable to afford our rates. Doing more volunteer work is something that I hope to achieve in the more near future, as the only requirement for doing so is a few hours, ideally 5-10 eventually, a week of time and effort. I mentioned the Petey Greene program because I work in education and have always believed that the high rates of incarceration throughout the US are deplorable and do much more long-term harm to society than most people acknowledge. Being able to provide incarcerated or formerly incarcerated individuals with the opportunity to learn new career skills and support them in their transitions back into “free society” would not only be personally-gratifying, but would help to rectify some of the harm these people have suffered at the hands of a corrupt institution. Overall, I think that I will be able to do more good organizing initiatives like the Petey Greene program than in participating in them, but as an overworked college student, educator, and researcher, participation is more within my current capacity for time.
