a. Rainbow Fleet rainbowfleet.org YAC Executive Board members volunteered cleaning toys and making packets for upcoming fundraiser from 10-noon on Saturday, October 18, 2014, at the Rainbow Fleet Resource Center @ 3024 Paseo, rainbowfleet.org.
Casady Service-Learning and YAC were able to sponsor 3 daycare centers thanks to the generosity of the Rainbolt Family Service-Learning Fund, Aubrey's family donation, and Aubrey's vision to bring this wonderful organization as one of the main organizations sponsored by YAC this year.
Rainbow Fleet is a YAC Junior Class project. The project focuses on building self-esteem in children. Project leader Aubrey H. stated " Rainbow Fleet's Resource Center provides toys and educational materials to child care providers in the greater Oklahoma City community.The materials that the Center provides teach infants and children fine motor skills, literacy, counting, science, etc. Working with Rainbow Fleet and volunteering in the Resource Center was an amazing opportunity! Rainbow Fleet does an amazing job nominating needy child care centers to receive memberships to the Resource Center. Every child care center that is a member of the Resource Center greatly benefits from the toys and educational materials provided to them. Rainbow Fleet is paving the roads for the future of our community by building strong minds and bodies in infants and children. I am so happy that I had the opportunity to work with this great organization!"
Casady Service-Learning also bought a membership for resources to be shared with clubs and classes like beginning level language classes.

YAC began making collection boxes on Tuesday and finished on Friday during B-block. The Food Drive is a freshman project with guidance and support from the Executive Board and the whole YAC membership.
The senior leadership has divided the freshmen class in different groups under the support of members of the Executive Board. Students helping the Food Drive in other divisions need to be back in class on time. Minimum of 5 people per shift. At least one member of each shift should have first hour off to help count cans after morning donations are finished.

b. Use social media motivational devises and daily reminders
Mrs. Clay shared what other classes had done in the past and requested consideration of applying the service learning tenants to the organization of this project.Freshmen Safra and Mariam Sh. emerged as the leading facilitators of this project.
