I think one of my most important volunteer jobs is being classroom assistant. Not necessarily teaching but helping out in the classroom, setting things up for the children and when it’s outdoor playtime being an next set of eyes. Teachers can always use the extra help in the classroom, with so many students around. Next is helping out in the kitchen, helping to serve the food the children, the staff can focus on getting the children where they need to be and preparing the food. The next is people willing to help in the office, this can just be simple filling to helping to make sure that certain items are in stock. Volunteer cleanup is always important, focusing on cleaning up the playground and making sure thing the place is fun and safe for
My two main volunteer experiences consist of: Outdoor School, and volunteering for Homework Club at Gordon Russell Middle School. I have only been able to go to Outdoor School twice, but both times were filled with accomplishments. I worked on plants field study, so learning all the information, which seemed overwhelming at first, and then being
I am currently volunteering at Atlantic Care Hospital, I have learned a lot ever since I began volunteering from November. During volunteering I meet different people, I talk to them and have learned new things from them. I stay after school very thursday and help tutor for math. I think that I have take a step forward and help others in any way I can . I consider volunteering as gaining experience, learning new things and most importantly helping the
I am very involved in volunteer work because working to make a better world is very dear to my heart. I was the Senior Class Representative of my high school service club and my job was to organize a lot of events. I was heavily involved in the committee for our Mini Dance Blue Marathon, and loved dancing the night away for the kids. I loved working with kids and helping to shape them so I have volunteered at day camps such as Winshape Camp Foundation and Camp Can-I-Go for a few years.
Service in the school and community is an insight to your character and work ethic. I have over 20 hours of community service from many different experiences. Last summer I worked for Camp Barakel, a summer camp, in the kitchen. I assisted in serving food and cleaning. I learned discipline and teamwork through this valuable experience. Not only this I’ve worked with the Elderly in Rehabilitation centers and the patience and nurturing qualities is something that will forever be valuable in my life. Last but not least working as Big Sister or Buddy to a 4th grade girl has given me the chance to positively impact and influence her life as simply as having a friend is immense. All of these service opportunities as added to my character and prepared me for the responsibilities of
Every summer between 7th grade and my freshman year of college, I would volunteer at a local summer program. This consisted of helping the teachers come up with lesson plans, activities, and games to play. During my last two years, I gained more responsibilities as the “Head Leader in Training” and managed the other volunteers, while designating tasks and responsibilities. I continued working with and coming up with activities during undergrad through the organization Project Literacy. After going over the lessons with the students, we would have a group activity or play a variety of sports with them. Working with children
Since the summer of eighth grade I have volunteered at Essentia Health Hospital making tie blankets for inpatients. These patients are able to take the blankets home with them when they are well enough to leave the hospital. Moreover, I volunteer at my local church for a once-a-month food share. I help unload the food from the truck, sort out the rotten produce, and distribute the food among the shareholders. Additionally, I clean up highways and trails as a part of Green Club ,and I partake in numerous other volunteer opportunities within my school
I volunteered at the Gonzales City volleyball clinic where I assisted the head coach by helping the young volleyball players learn how to set, serve, hit, and bump. I did this three times a week for three hours each day. The clinic consisted of children from ages 7-14 and each age group went in at different times. Also, I did community service at my local St. Theodore Church by helping in the jumping house at the church carnival. For the past four seasons I helped fundraise at the high school football games by selling food at the stadium snack bar. In every home football game I would stay for more than half of the game in the snack
Volunteering and participating in service projects are two of the most rewarding activities in my opinion. Some people may find it was a hassle or only do it because they have to meet the minimum requirement for school or work. Helping others, for me, has always been somewhat second nature to me. Over many years of volunteering I believe I have developed qualities that will stick with me for life and benefit me in my career. As early as freshman year, in high school, I found myself looking for ways to give back. I started by looking for opportunities within school, where I came across the A+ tutoring program, and so my journey of giving back began. While tutoring, my patience for others really evolved, partly by choice and partly because
Children should be encouraged to think about risks and given more independence, so they are more likely to grow in confidence. If a child’s experiences is limited its likely that the child may find it difficult to assess and manage risks on their own .If we become to obsess about their health an safety, we may affect their learning development and abilities. Sometimes it’s good to offer them challenging environment for them to deal with risks under our observation also when a child sustain or witness injuries they gain direct experience of their action and choices.
I am a recent graduate from the University of Oregon with majors in psychology and sociology with a minor in business. While sitting in my child development class learning how a child’s brain is shaped and molded throughout its life, I had an epiphany. The education and support a child receives from school has a dramatic impact on their future. That moment ignited a passion to improve the support and education all children receive. I am applying for the Educational Assistant IB position to start my journey to make my passion into a reality. This position will allow me to make an immediate positive impact on the lives of students today while gaining experience and knowledge to impact the students of the future.
One of the greatest volunteering opportunities I have ever been a part of is teaching children about the environment. Speaking to a classroom full of children about the importance of our environment is an experience I will always remember. Being around young minds and helping these children grow into more caring humans is something I will always cherish.
One of my first volunteering positions growing up was at a local elementary school assisting children in core math and reading subjects. Not only did I help the students but I also helped the teacher with grading and developing new assignments. This experience gave me great insight into how one can effectively explain education materials to young children.
Volunteering can be an enriching experience. The hours you put in each week can be the most meaningful, fulfilling and emotionally gratifying hours of your week. But it can also be something to put on your resume in order to enhance future employment
Volunteering is part of who I am. It’s my secret to living a joyful life. One of my most significant volunteer experiences is at a place called Adult Basic Education, where I have been volunteering for over three and a half years. ABE is a place where adults from various backgrounds, mostly those who speak little or no English, go to learn and improve their English skills. There are also some adults who go to ABE to prepare for the GED test, so that they can get a diploma. I volunteer as a level-one-teacher assistant, working in small groups and one on one with students at the beginner level to help them practice their speaking and pronunciation. I remember when I was 13 years old, my family and I moved to the U.S.A. from Cambodia and I did
