 "It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves." - Helen Keller |

RequirementsMOVE Special Projects is a position for the creative with different ideas that are not necessarily included in other MOVE committees. Past and current projects include working with Hands on Atlanta, which is a large Atlanta volunteer community, Unite for Sight, who works to provide eye care for those who can't otherwise afford it, and Unlock the Waiting List, that works through the Georgia government to better facilities and rights of people with disabilities. In no way is this committee limited to these groups, though. The projects are pretty much left to the discretion of the committee chair, so if you have projects you want to see take shape, this is the committee for you! Special Projects if a very broad position where new ideas could become reality to help improve both the Tech and Atlanta community! |
