Park Tudor Spotlight

2009 grads get real-life experience building web site for local nonprofit

Heidi Chen and Jessica FisherRecent alumni Heidi Chen '09 and Jessica Fisher '09 made a unique contribution to the Indianapolis community during their high school careers by designing and implementing a web-based volunteer management program for School on Wheels, which provides volunteer-based tutoring services to homeless children in the Indianapolis community.
 
The web site is the result of a service-learning project that Heidi and Jessica began in the summer of 2008 to complete their community-service requirement for Park Tudor's Global Scholars Program. Heidi and Jessica met frequently with School on Wheels representatives to determine the agency's needs and then designed a password-protected web site that enables staff members to more efficiently gather and process data related to their pool of about 300 volunteers.
 
Indy School on Wheels representatives praised the girls for their professionalism and the high quality of the site. Program Director Melanie Priest said, "We needed a way to track our tutors by their volunteer hours, by location, by their workplace. Heidi and Jessica were very professional. They did a fantastic job of working with us to make sure they met our needs."
