Odyssey Angels Progress Reports
There has been an enormous response to the 2nd year
of the Odyssey Angels program. We have received so
many inspiring ideas during the Odyssey Angel enrollment
period and are proud that so many people are willing to
help their communities and give aid to those who may otherwise
be overlooked.
There are groups helping storm-affected families, neighbors
with disabilities, fellow students, foster kids, homeless shelters,
and more. We consider everyone a hero that chose to enroll. Unfortunately,
only one group can be selected to attend World Finals.
Here are the next steps to completing the Odyssey Angel
program for this year.
If you have enrolled in the program by completing
the online enrollment form, you will be sent a
follow-up email that contains the "Progress
Report" form for your group.
A representative can fill it out and return
it any time before the April 1st deadline.
You must return it by this time in
order to be eligible to attend World
Finals and present your project at
the Creativity Festival.
The form simply asks what you have done so far for your
project and requires a reference from the community member(s)
you are helping. Keep in mind that your project can be ongoing.
You don't have to stop because of the deadline.
Also, remember that you do not have to fi ll out the form as
soon as you receive it. You should submit it when you feel it is
the best time to be judged on your work, as long as it is before
the deadline.
After April 1st the Odyssey Angels panel will have the diffi -
cult task of selecting just one group to attend World Finals. This
group will by notifi ed by Odyssey Angels Director Cheryl Micklus
and the results will be posted to the Odyssey Angels web site.
There are so many generous and creative entries that
although only one group can present at World
Finals, many communities around the world
benefit -- they are the true winners!
Again, we thank the groups for their
hard work and look forward to reading
about all the good that has been done in
those progress reports!
The Pinetree Secondary School was selected to attend World Finals in 2012.
The Pinetree Odyssey Angels display their creative
design for a shopping cart that traveled across Canada. This group helped Joe Roberts of the Push for Change Campaign raise
funds and awareness for homeless youth.
The group was presented a plaque at the 2012 World Finals Opening Ceremonies
at Iowa State University. Joe Roberts even traveled to Iowa to surprise the group and to speak about the project.
