Added my strategic goal
'''<big>UIF Cohort 2023</big>'''
<br />'''<big>Strategy 1 -YCP Community Green Space - Branden</big>'''  The YCP Community Green Space, provides a plethora of students a way to disengage from the stressful academic life and confines of their dorm or classrooms and rejoin nature. This green space, including a community garden, pollinator garden, fruit bearing trees, and seating space would provide a place where students can relax, learn and interact with one another in order to form a community and to promote sustainability goals. Organizations on campus such as the Plant and Gardening Club, Beekeeping Club, and the Campus Activities Board would be able to utilize such a space for club meetings and other events in order to bring give students more opportunities to go outside and enjoy the outdoors. This gardens can also help provide food for food insecure members on campus as well as provide good points of contact to collaborate with other institutions and the local community in York. Classes and faculty would also be able to utilize such a space to help teach others about plants and horticulture as well as providing a space to learn about sustainability.
'''<big>Strategy 3-Community Garden - Reilly</big>'''  The YCP Community Garden will allow space for students to connect with nature in a meaningful way. Students can do as they please in this space: relax, learn, etc. Nurturing flowers and vegetables can be a rewarding and meditative experience for students; doing something tactile can help calm the mind, especially when there is a tangible result from the activity. Workshops taught by outside organizations and faculty alike as well as campus events could be held in this space. This space is not static and can change based on student needs. The goal is to make many small gardens across campus so that more students have access to them. Each garden will have scheduled maintenance days led by students and carried out by students. Lastly, a garden on campus will help provide nutrient rich vegetables to food insecure students at the Spartan Pantry at York College of Pennsylvania.
'''<big>Strategy 4-Community Mental Health Support Group - Jacob</big>''' </div><small><big>Community Mental Health Support Group is a student lead therapist monitored support group which aims to help students struggling with mental health issues learn coping techniques. Trying to make healthy habits to promote and maintain mental health is hard, doing this while dealing with mental health issues is even harder. This mental health support group is to meant to help student practice, learn and deal with issues related to there journey of health. Students will be lead by other students leader who has delt with these issues, who are further on there journey of health and are trained to support other students by licensed therapist. The bonus of having students lead these seasons is that it provides a large amount of diversity to the therapy space. Activities would be split up into two groups: large activities this is open to the general school population doing general mental health maintenance activates including: art therapy, music therapy, yoga, meditation, gardening, and other teaching activities and a smaller group with students who are dealing with specific mental health struggles or different student diversity populations like LGBTQ+ or a bipolar support group. Other future ideas that I would like to see is producing a art and music room in that students pay a small one time fee to go in and learn how to play music interments and practice art with the guidance of students who guild them through learning but also support them with music and art therapy.</big></small><div>
