Latin People News LPN: Come Volunteer and Make a Difference

Camping This Weekend | Reserve Florida State Parks Online | View on the Web     Get Active | Upcoming Events | Spend the Night | Visit FloridaStateParks.org         Volunteers are an integral part of the Florida State Parks community. There are a variety of diverse and rewarding opportunities to volunteer at a state park near you. Learn more about how you can help at a Florida State Park today! Make your reservation today to stay at a Florida State Park and experience the lasting impacts made by our volunteers as they help preserve Florida’s natural and cultural resources.       Beach and Coastal Cleanups Beach and Coastal Cleanups are great ways to get outdoors and help our coastal state parks in a big way. Anastasia State Park features 4 miles of pristine beaches along the Atlantic Ocean coastline, and volunteering for a beach cleanup is a great way to make sure the park stays that way! Not only does a beach cleanup help keep the park clean for future guests to enjoy, but the removal of potentially harmful litter and debris can also protect the local wildlife. With 139 campsites within walking distance from the beach, Anastasia is a perfect park for rest and relaxation after a beach cleanup. Back to top       Exotic Plant Removal Another critical way volunteers help Florida State Parks is through exotic and invasive plant removal. These projects, such as the removal of skunk vine from the entrance to the campgrounds at Rainbow Springs State Park, can help reduce potentially harmful allergens within our parks and protect the local plant life from being displaced by invasive species. The removal of the invasive skunk vine at Rainbow Springs allows the natural resources at the park’s scenic campgrounds to flourish. Taking a dip in the refreshing waters of the headspring is a great way to cool off after a day of volunteering. Back to top       Special Projects Volunteers often have key roles in assisting with special projects within Florida State Parks, such as the installation of the new adaptive bike trails in Alafia River State Park. Volunteers assisted park staff in widening the bike trails and incorporating stabilizing shell material to accommodate adaptive bicycles year-round. Along with a 40-mile network of biking, hiking, and equestrian trails, Alafia River also features a full-facility campground so you can sleep under the stars! Come make your reservation today to experience a great example of what our volunteers can accomplish at Florida State Parks. Back to top       Trail Clearing and Cleanup Speaking of trails, volunteers play a big role in assisting park staff with the maintenance of many of the trails within Florida State Parks. At Wekiwa Springs State Park, volunteers helped clear and cleanup over 6 miles of trails in a single day! Their work included clearing debris, removing exotic plants, and reinforcing existing trail paths so that visitors to the park would be able to easily access and enjoy the natural resources these trails have to offer. As Orange County’s longest running tourist attraction, Wekiwa Springs’ campgrounds, picturesque spring, and over 25 miles of trails offer a variety of experiences for the whole family to enjoy! Back to top         Guided Tours Not all of the volunteer opportunities at Florida State Parks require physical work outside. Many of the guided tours offered at our parks are led by dedicated volunteers, such as at the historic Koreshan Settlement at Koreshan State Park. Volunteers at Koreshan lead guests on an immersive journey through the daily lives of the Koreshan settlers and provide a first-hand experience of life in the area during the late-nineteenth century. To be fully immersed in the natural and cultural resources Koreshan and its volunteers have to offer, make a reservation to spend the night at the park’s tranquil campground! Also be sure to check out the unique bamboo trails or sample some of the traditional Koreshan cuisine at the Cast Iron Café.

La mayoría de las personas van a la universidad para obtener un título y conseguir un buen trabajo. En un mercado laboral competitivo, es útil tener conexiones. Así que, cuando un colegio comunitario o una universidad afirma que tiene relaciones con empleadores reconocidos, ese antecedente puede convencerte de asistir allí. Pero ten cuidado: afirmaciones como esta pueden ser una estrategia para atraer nuevos estudiantes y el dinero de sus matrículas. De hecho, la FTC señala que eso es exactamente lo que hizo una universidad con fines de lucro como parte de una extensa campaña publicitaria.

 

En un acuerdo anunciado hoy, la FTC señala que la Universidad de Phoenix, la cual es con fines de lucro, y su empresa matriz, Apollo Education Group, Inc., afirmaron falsamente que sus relaciones con importantes empresas crearon oportunidades de trabajo específicas para los estudiantes de Phoenix y afirmaron engañosamente que trabajaron con estas empresas para desarrollar cursos.

La FTC señala que la Universidad de Phoenix utilizó una campaña publicitaria multimedia para atraer estudiantes, incluyendo anuncios específicamente dirigidos a consumidores hispanos y militares. La campaña “Let’s Get to Work” de las compañias’ presentaba varios empleadores de gran repercusión mediática, incluidos Microsoft, Twitter, Adobe, y Yahoo!, dando la falsa impresión de que la Universidad de Phoenix trabajaba con esas compañías para crear oportunidades de trabajo para sus estudiantes.

 

Como parte del acuerdo de $191 millones, las compañías devolverán $50 millones en efectivo a exalumnos y cancelarán $141 millones en deudas estudiantiles mantenidas directamente con la universidad. La orden propuesta prohíbe a las compañías realizar otras prácticas comerciales engañosas. Además, les exige que soliciten a las agencias de informes crediticios que eliminen las deudas de los informes de crédito de las personas, notifiquen a quienes lograron la cancelación de la deuda y se aseguren de que las personas tengan acceso a sus diplomas y certificados.

 

Antes de inscribirte en una universidad o colegio comunitario, es importante que hagas tu parte. Puedes obtener información importante sobre cualquier universidad en el navegador de universidades del Departamento de Educación de EE. UU (en inglés). Por ejemplo, si ingresas el nombre de una universidad, puedes averiguar si es pública o privada, con o sin fines de lucro, su estado de acreditación y las tasas de incumplimiento de préstamos estudiantiles.

 

Además, revisa lo que dice la gente sobre las universidades que estás considerando. Ingresa el nombre de la universidad junto con palabras tales como “review”, “complaint” o “scam”, o si haces la búsqueda en español, agrega palabras como "comentario", "queja" o "estafa".

 

Si estás buscando avanzar en tu educación, has tu parte para asegurarte de saber lo que estás pagando. Echa un vistazo a Cómo elegir una universidad: Las preguntas que hay que hacer.
