Organization or Agency Paper Directions
Since this is a community health course, it is important to know what local organizations/agencies are available to all Peninsula and Hampton Roads citizens in time of need for whatever reason. The organization or agency you select can be public, private, non-profit or profit from our area.  You are to make the decision on what to choose.

Your selection of your organization/agency will be done on a first come, first serve basis and your selection will be posted on Discussion Board.  Click on the reply button.  If someone picked yours, you have to make another selection. Be sure to put the Organization/Agency name in the subject area.  It will make it easier for all of us to follow which ones have been already selected.

Find out as much as you can about your selected organization/agency.  Include mission statement (if applicable), purpose, who can use the services, location, phone number, fax, email, etc.  This paper should be 500+ words, using 12 pt. font, and single-spaced. Plagiarism will not be tolerated.  Be sure to document any use of works cited and in-text citations.Deductions will be taken if not applied.When citing an url, just copying and pasting is incorrect. There is a proper way to cite a website. I prefer APA style, but MLA is acceptable. A link for MLA/APA crib sheet is found under Course Information. Use spell check, proper paragraphing, and correct grammar.  The finished paper will be saved as Word file and submittedto the link Assignmentsfound in Bb.

To assist you in writing a good paper, I have made available for you to submit your draft paper to Bb to check for plagiarism and the originality of your work before you submit your final copy. This will give you the opportunity to make the needed changes to your paper before final submitting.  I want to insure this is your paper and your words used along with proper documented in-text citations and works cited.  More information and details will follow. Dues date are found on Course Schedule.

Interject your own personal thoughts, insight and reflections about your organization/agency.  Some students have taken this assignment to the next level and have visited the location.  Other students have interviewed the director and even stepped up to the plate and volunteered at that particular agency.
