Link Crew Leadership Report

747 Words3 Pages

Throughout my high school career, I have taken opportunities to be an active community member through community service. Service that I have participated in has given me experience being a mentor and educator. As a link Crew leader, I volunteered my time to help the incoming freshmen in my community/ school district assimilate into their new environment. I went to training, followed a link crew curriculum, guided them in activities, offered advice, and served as a role model for the students.

Fall on the Farm and Ag Awareness allowed me to educate the children in my community and make them more aware of their agricultural town. It is important that people grow to learn about their surroundings and their community so this was a perfect opportunity. As I educated the students, I was also educating myself. I began to grasp the concept of a bigger picture- of a broader perspective of the community. I learned that by engaging with the community, there is more unity, and teaching the children of that community strengthens it. Participating in this event for two years sparked excitement into my life. This is because surrounding myself with children and seeing their enthusiasm encourages me to inspire every individual I meet, and educate/advocate for every child I come across in my
