Author

Stephen F. Austin State Univ., Nacogdoches, TX., Bailey, Bruce E., and Ray, Patricia E.

Abstract

This guide describes the organization, administration, and maintenance of a student volunteer program designed to provide experiential learning to students and paraprofessional staff in rural human service agencies. The need for volunteer paraprofessionals in rural human service agencies, the benefits of a student volunteer program to both students and agencies, and the role and needs of paraprofessional volunteers are discussed in an initial section. Project HELP (Helping Experiential Learning Program), developed at the Stephen F. Austin State University, is described in detail including recruitment of volunteers, funding sources, and academic support. The organization of the program is presented including descriptions of administrative positions and responsibilities, agendas for organizational meetings, publicity suggestions, student recruitment, contracts for both students and agencies, and volunteers' work plans and job descriptions. Topics relating to program maintenance are explored, e.g., goal setting, benefits of the student coordinator's position, and the use of evaluative data. (WAS)

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the existence of recreation programs in adult day care centers, the utilization of textile crafts in them, and the types of textile crafts used. Systematically selected, the sample was taken from the Health Care Financing Administration's Directory of Adult Day Care Centers. A questionnaire developed for this study, and an explanatory cover letter were mailed to 203 directors nationwide. A 51 percent response rate resulted in 103 useable returns. Recreation was included in 100 of the 103 adult day care centers. The respondents indicated that clients who attended adult day care generally participated in recreation. Textile crafts were part of 97 recreation programs, and activities were directed by trained recreation staff members knowledgeable about textile crafts. Crafts made available to clients were those the staff were capable of teaching. Sewing, crocheting, and weaving were ranked by respondents as easiest for clients, and needlepoint, embroidery, and macrame’ were ranked as difficult. Although the value and benefit of textile crafts to clients was not investigated, the fact that facilities include textile crafts within their programs suggests that crafts play an important part in filling the needs of at least some of the elderly.
