The Passion Project Organization
Mission: Connecting great minds to make them more productive and successful is a primary attribute of this organization. Students will be working effectively and quickly to capture the fundamental functions and unleash their inner passion. This organization strives to help others by working together and pushing them to excel and do work that represents them not only academically but also personally. Another key attribute to this organization is commitment; showing up and doing the work is beneficial because it portrays how passionate you are about your life goals. The Passion Project Organization releases your curiosity and energy and puts it into something that excites and inspires “you” to be you.
Planned Activities: Each student will work on their passion project by picking a topic, whether that’s leadership skills in middle school students, researching protein physics, or political issues in the world. The student can make a website, create a podcast, write a book, start a youtube channel, or research a topic they are passionate about. The student can reach out to professors at universities or leaders to guide them throughout their research and project. This passion project will help the student build
something of their own that they are passionate about, and it will put them at the top of the list
when applying to college. We will even help students with creating their resumes and reaching
out to professors if they need help.Affiliations: N/A
