I began my volunteer experience at P.S.200 ever since the opportunity was available to me. For my volunteer work I have helped with movie nights, Parent Teacher Conferences, holiday parties and PTA meetings along with student of the month. Volunteering is a huge resource and support for the school community. As a volunteer at P.S.200 I have helped at the Halloween party followed by a movie. As part of my work, I helped set up the tables for the students to have fun and creative activities. I laid out construction paper, coloring sheets, markers, crayons, glitter, glue, pom poms, scissors and pencils. Then I would help set up the snacks and drinks. When it is time for the parents and students to come in I would assist a member of the faculty and collect the tickets. I would also have a sign-in sheet for the best costume and have every student who wants to participate write their name and give them a number. When every parent and student is accommodated for I would help refill the snacks and drinks. When the party is ending and the movie is starting I would assist a member of the faculty and help lead the parents and students to the auditorium for the movie. While the movie is playing I would help clean up the room. When the movie ends and the parents and students leave I would help clean up the auditorium. As a volunteer at …show more content…
Volunteering is an opportunity to make a lasting contribution in the community. Through this rewarding experience, I not only gained my service hours, but I also was able to contribute a connection with the faculty. I could always go back to them for additional support or advice. Interacting with them enhanced my communication skills. Despite all of this, I noticed how much I enjoyed interacting with children and the faculty. Overall, this experience has been one I enjoyed and plan to continue volunteering to make a difference in the
I plan on volunteering for many different organizations, that I am both currently working with, and plan to. For example, I participate in volunteer events for Special Olympic games, The Everett Theater, and St. Joseph’s Parish. By helping
The activities and events we host are always very fun and exciting. I have been a volunteer since my freshman year of high school, which is when they allow you to be a volunteer. Before that you may participate in the activities. I feel that this volunteer project does benefit both me and the recipients, because I get to experience such an amazing act of kindness that changes a person 's life forever. It also benefits the recipients, because they get to have their lives changed forever.
Through my organization, I have earned over 500 hours of community service and was awarded the Presidential Volunteer Service Bronze Medallion for my continued efforts in giving back to the community. During the summer, I assist
ASAM 100 has been one of the most insightful classes I have taken in college—so far! Through this class, I was able to learn a great deal about my culture and about myself as a person. In retrospect to my first “Why ASAM?” essay, I still believe that it is important for everybody to learn about their culture sometime throughout their life. I was able to learn about various topics such as: the issues of my culture, the traditions of my culture, how others view individuals of my culture, and more. Throughout this class, I learned about the Model Minority Myth and its effect on individuals of Asian background, I learned about issues that other Asian Americans faced through the video, Asian American Voices, and I learned to grow as a writer.
There will be 6 people volunteering and 2 extra desks and chairs will be needed for those who may come in for
Along with Phi Theta Kappa, my goals are to make our world a better place and with what my life choices have made me and my educational journey has taught me, I will exercise all opportunities presented to me to help make a difference in our world. During my recent summer employment working with children, I received a strong confirmation that people, especially children, are struggling with choices and will quickly act to do something only to receive something, and this created a great deal of sadness and wonder inside me. My summer experience, along with the knowledge, skills and courage I have gained through Phi Theta Kappa leadership conferences, I am increasingly determined to reach out to help instill what is good in others, especially in our children, who hold their future in their hands. I have always enjoyed reaching out to my community, serving and learning about the people around me. There was a time I volunteered at an organization as a youth soccer coach and a roller hockey coach knowing I had never played before, I must say it was the most fun learning how to lead experience.
I would come in, set up, and say the occasional “Hi”. Although I loved the people I volunteered with I wasn't getting anything out of being there. That all changed when I learn how to play Spades. Tessa had tried to teach me before but it just couldn't get it. One day when we were short a player they asked me to join.
My experience in the volunteer world has given me the direction to see many views on the world we live in today. I have gone on a week-long mission trip 4 summers in a row and 5 out of the last 6 and it has become
The volunteers are similar to the volunteers I work with every day at City Year. Everyone comes from different states and different cultures, but we are all share the same purpose. That purpose is to bridge the gap in the education
I work multiple concession stands, whether it’s for basketball, softball, or baseball games and I also volunteer to work scoreboard for volleyball or basketball tournaments on the weekends. Lastly, this past Christmas all of the chorus members walked around town and went caroling to local businesses, such as the library, the fire station, and the bank. Because this was our first time caroling, I considered it a great experience and plus, it allowed the community to get free entertainment. I enjoy helping out the community
The main objective of my service was to help teach the students what to expect in the future and teach them about different career paths. I taught the students about different career paths by asking about their dream jobs and what they thought that job was about. I then clarified what certain jobs did if they did not know and talked about other jobs not mentioned like business jobs. Beyond just teaching students for a day I got to be part of shaping and motivating a younger generation.
I volunteered at Alternatives on December 1 from 10am-12:30pm in Robbie’s Room. There I assisted Logan, the director of Robbie’s Room, by cleaning the craft closet. We removed art boxes that were not used often and placed them in the shed. We also cleaned out what Alternatives calls “Birthday Kits.” These kits are donated and contain a birthday cake mix, icing, a toy, a coloring book, crayons, a toy and often bubbles.
This event is something that ASGCU Public Relations (PR) team does at the end of every semester, just before finals week. This year, I got to help with security, made sure students knew where the line started
