Civic Engagement Fair

The Civic Engagement Fair was a lot different from what I thought it would be. There were many more organizations than I had anticipated and a lot more students attending. I spoke with three different organizations, the League of Women Voters (LWV), The St. Pete Little Theater (SPLT) and The St. Petersburg Downtown Residents Civic Association (SPDRCA), all of which I found very interesting.

The SPDRCA had a lot of great ideas about how to help improve the downtown area. I had never heard about this organization before but it definitely sounded like a good group to work with. The LWV was also very interesting. I never knew what the league actually did and now that I do I think it would also be a great organization to work with. My favorite organization was the SPLT. I participated in theater in high school and I think I would really enjoy working with them. They could use help with creating brochures, programs and pamphlets which would be a great way to incorporate technical writing. I really enjoyed my time at the fair and I learned a lot.
