Hey, my name is Alicia Patterson. I have been involved in Public Achievement at Minneapolis Community and Technical College for two years and both a team member at Whittier Elementary School and now as a coach InterDistrict Downtown School (IDDS)....
Through Public Achievement, people of all ages work with others to meet challenges and solve problems. They learn from each other the meaning of citizenship and democracy. Ordinary people do extraordinary things.
Hi Alicia, and welcome to the Five Freedoms Network. It's great to have you here!
I have a hunch you might be interested in joining the Public Achievement Group here on the Network. If you click this link, you'll be at the PA Group page. To the right of the "Public Achievement" name, you'll see a link "+ Join Public Achievement".
As you can see from the world map on our home page, we have a growing, eclectic community of individuals from across the globe -- from Brooklyn to Pakistan, from North Dakota to China. Thank you for taking the time to add your voice to that fascinating mix.
As you surf around the Network and its companion site, www.fivefreedoms.org, I urge you to share your voice throughout. Take our You Be The Judge First Amendment quiz (a new scenario every two weeks). Leave a comment on a fellow member's personal page and make a new contact. Upload a video to our gallery, or watch and react to one already there. Join (or start) a group or visit the Soapbox to contribute to (or start) a discussion. And invite others to join us.
In short, use your voice to co-create our online community :-)
Post a comment on my page anytime with questions or ideas. Thanks again!
