YAC promotes Sweatmonkey as new way to plan, report, reflect, and certify hours

Senior YAC Chair, Caitlin A. welcomed all grades, during class meeting time, January 4, 2011, at Fee Theater for a webinar introduction of SweatMonkey. Pia Simeoni, Marketing Sweatmonkey manager, from her desk in Chicago, provided the training.  SweatMonkey is a website created by a high school student to manage service hours, certify them and create a 24/7 service resume/portfolio.  Freshman YAC member, Christine L. was introduced as the Casady Sweatmonkey intern and "to go YAC member" with questions about Sweatmonkey. 

Mrs. Clay interacted with students during Pia's webinar adding examples of forms available at Sweatmoney now, like the Habitat for Humanity Releases, and Habitat Service Saturday construction dates;  why to document (even via photography), and the importance of reflection for personal growth, job search and college applictations.  Mrs. Clay briefly mentioned the role Casady YAC will have as SweatMonkey Ambassadors promoting SweatMonkey to Oklahoma High Schools, Community Organizations and colleges and universities once we get the collaboration well established at Casady.

Sweatmonkey is provided free of charge to everyone until the month of July when new features will be made available. After July 2011, Casady Service-Learning will pay a fee of $200 per year to operate the system.  The site will continue to be free of charge for community organizations and students.
