Rachel Looks Forward to Allocations

Now that we are six months into J Team, I've learned a lot about the philanthropy process. J Team allows me to discover my own morals and learn how to advocate for what I believe in. The J Team group chose the word responsibility as our core value. To me this means that we must be responsible in our decision making, towards each other, our own beliefs, and the organizations we are considering. Last meeting we all shared our homework assignments, in which we discussed with out parents about their philanthropy experiences. I've found that the best way to convince others to give is to set an example. I'm looking forward to start allocating the money in a few weeks, and think that J Team is ready to follow through on our responsibilities.
