Caylyn Perry Washington, D.C. - Points of Light Foundation

This summer I completed my summer service project at Points of Light Foundation, the largest organization in the world dedicated to volunteer service. The organization focuses on volunteer activation to address critical needs including veteran and military family issues, disaster relief, economic recovery, and issues surrounding education. My project focused on the organization’s work with military families and reintegration programming. Working with my director I spent the majority of my summer building partnerships with DC veteran serving organizations (VSOs) and creating the training handbook and curriculum for a new reintegration service program the organization will launch in November.
