Ben Donnelly GEB 4890 Drewes Prelection Paper 1. What is service learning and social responsibility to you? To me service learning is where I take the skills, I have learned through my life whether that includes school, jobs, or my parents, and I apply them to service. Being able to take my skills to these services can help me increase efficiency and help more people and the community at a greater impact. Service learning is also being able to teach others what you have learned through your own experience during service. Overall, you apply your own skills when you volunteer, and you get a whole new skill setback as well on things that you didn’t know in the first place. Social Responsibility to me is when you have the inner desire to give back and help your community become greater as a whole. Whether that is picking up trash, or helping feed the homeless You realize that your own actions have a greater impact on everyone around you, and that you really can make a change in this community and in this world. 2. Which service organization did you select, and who is your contact (Name, title, address, and phone)? The service organization that I am selecting is called the humane society of Tampa Bay. This is an organization that helps with dogs that are being rescued. This deals
with animals in shelters and they need people to help maintain them and keep them in good condition. My contact is Chris Madalena. His cell is 8132917357, and he is the volunteer manager of the whole operation. 3. Why did you select this service organization and what needs within the community does the organization serve? I selected this organization because I love animals and dogs especially so much. The one thing that always ticks away and pulls at my heart is that there are innocent animals out there that are suffering. I believe that every dog deserves a good home because they are such kind and loving creatures. The fact that they have to go through so much pain just to live is sad. I also selected this service because I want to get better at being able to take care of dogs and train them so one day when I get a dog of my own, I will be able to take care of him and raise him properly to be a good happy dog. The organization’s point in the community is to help animals that are suffering in the streets or the wild. This is how they help with medical services “ The Animal Hospital (Animal Health Center) at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay was opened in 2012 to provide our community with affordable options in the care of their pets. The full- service, high-quality hospital can accommodate medical care ranging from routine vaccinations and health checks to diagnostics and special surgeries.” They are here to help the animals in need that are sick and have no one else to turn to. This community takes in injured weak, and sick dogs and helps heal them and nurture them. When they are feeling better, they then put them up for adoption where these dogs will hopefully find a loving family where they will be treated correctly for the years to
