reflect on the usefulness of this activity in enhancing your understanding of the operations of state and local governments.
What was your biggest struggle with regard to this assignment?
What did you learn by reading about other students’ experiences?
Would you recommend this CP to a future student?
I am very glad I chose this particular CP. I have been saying I wanted to work with youth prior to release for some time so this gave me the opportunity to do just that. Better than this simply being a good experience, this set the stage for permanent expansion of my record sealing outreach to include incarcerated youth.
In terms of the biggest difficulty, it was certainly getting clearance. In fact, that was the primary reason the scope changed from including both Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall as well as San Mateo to just San Mateo.
I enjoyed reading about both the struggles and successes of other people's CP's. It was good to know which offered useful experiences to people in terms of comprehending any in the future to people looking to get involved in local government at some level.
I would only recommend this particular CP to someone with experience working with this particular demographic, and who was also comfortable being in a locked unit with 15-20 high-risk youth at a time.
