Finding Resources In Your Community

 Do You know how to find the resources in your community?

I have been talking a lot with my children, about finding the resources in their school community and using those resources to help them navigate through their academic journey. It's important to know what resources are available and how to access those resources. Through doing volunteer work in my community, I find that most individuals do not know about the resources available to them. I spend time letting the community know about the resources available to them, and also gathering like minded people together to share resources. It is impossible for me to know about every available resource in the community, that's why sharing and learning from each other is key. 

There were times that I needed help and I have to reach out to my community to seek help. Whatever community you are in there is always help. It can be a school community, work community, church community or the place that you live. With a little research you can find out where the resources are and how to apply for these resources. 

None of us can make it alone, especially in this pandemic that we are in. There is always help available when we need it, sometimes we have to rely on the kindness of our community members and local officials. You may feel alone sometimes but know that you are not alone. There are resources and people who can help you this tough time. You are not alone and someone cares for you.
