Ftp Leadership Personal Statement

602 Words3 Pages

I volunteered at Mother Hubbard's Cupboard, an emergency food pantry, in Wilmington, North Carolina from 2012-2016. Throughout my four years of service, I learned how to handle almost all of the jobs available to volunteers, including packing packages for families with a stove or no-stove individuals, teaching new volunteers about the Cupboard and the jobs available, checking patrons in at the front desk, preparing hygiene supply packages for patrons, and working at various tables in the front to distribute various additional food to patrons.
I am interested in serving on the Feed the Pack Leadership Team because I want to expand the overall impact and efficiency of Feed the Pack. I am committed to service and I want to lead a life of serving others, and I believe that working on the FTP Leadership team will allow me to continue to maximize my service efforts in the community and beyond. Moreover, breaking the poverty cycle is something that I am incredibly passionate about and FTP's mission aligns directly with alleviating poverty and meeting the needs of the community. Thus, I believe that my passion …show more content…

I ended up spearheading my own projects that would affect Hoonah City Schools at a systemic level, such as creating living documents of available scholarships for students and a comprehensive list of post-secondary schools (trade, vocational, beauty) in Alaska. I was also given administrator access to the school's website to edit in order to streamline accessibility and add resources for students, staff, and the community. Currently, I am working on adding resources for the Special Education Department for the school. Other than that, I love using social media and I believe I can maximize the effect of Feed the Pack through

Since then, this nonprofit organization has raised thousands of dollars that has gone to support uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

    In the summer of 2013 at a family barbeque I nonchalantly asked my aunt if there was any way I could volunteer at her job, an intercity Salvation Army Core, throughout the week. Asking this simple question that I initially didn’t put much consideration into, steered to far more than I could had ever anticipate. I projected what my experience would be like at the core playing out different scenarios in my head. I expected it to be similar to every other volunteer experience I had, simply assist the employees and perchance meet a few people along the way. I thought I would be working in a back pantry categorizing and bundling foods into care packages having minimal encounters.
