Inspired by his experience with other ASB programs at other university campuses, Delaney asked Carol Oglesby, Coordinator of Student Civic Engagement, to encourage students to participate in UTC\u2019s own Alternative Spring Break.<\/p>\n<p>With the success of the ASB\u2019s inaugural debut last spring, Oglesby began receiving emails and calls in December from various local organizations interested in being a part of the project. Oglesby responded to a message from Jay Parks, Director of Youth Services for the Partnership for Families, Children and Adults, Inc. He advocated for a residential home for youths removed from troubled homes and placed in the custody of the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJack talked about the home with such emotion and concern,\u201d she said, \u201cthat we couldn\u2019t pass up the chance to provide some services and improvements to the living conditions of these boys and the great staff caring for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oglesby stressed the importance of volunteer work and student involvement in the project: \u201cUTC is an institution dedicated to fostering an environment of community engagement. \u00a0It is part of our responsibility to serve, support, and nurture, not just our campus community, but the community that constantly supports us as their Chattanooga University. \u201c<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2012\/03\/AltSpringBreak2012-BoysHome_02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" data-attachment-id=\"6585\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2012\/03\/volunteers-clean-up-boys-home-during-alternative-spring-break\/altspringbreak2012-boyshome_02\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2012\/03\/AltSpringBreak2012-BoysHome_02.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"320,480\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;7.1&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Jaimie Davis&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 7D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1330767944&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;48&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;640&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0015625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"AltSpringBreak2012-BoysHome_02\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2012\/03\/AltSpringBreak2012-BoysHome_02.jpg\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6585\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2012\/03\/AltSpringBreak2012-BoysHome_02-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2012\/03\/AltSpringBreak2012-BoysHome_02-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2012\/03\/AltSpringBreak2012-BoysHome_02.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>Encouraged to \u201cdress to get dirty,\u201d participants turned out with paint rollers, rakes, and pruning shears to freshen up the Gardner Boys\u2019 home from the inside out.
