I raised money for scholarships to camp; helping hundreds of kids come to camp that would be unable to afford it otherwise. Development of a diverse staff was important to me. So I recruited, interviewed and hired central city staff to be part of camp. This involved going to their neighborhood for interviews because they had no means of getting to camp.

I was the activities director and as activities director, I executed and supervised extracurricular activities, programs, and field trips. I created and designed promotional materials for all activities, wrote and published school newsletters, and managed social media content. Being an adolescent in this position, gave me a better insight on what the students desired and I, in turn, gave the students a greater experience in that area. I will take that drive, determination, and experience, and everything I learned from it and apply it to my schoolwork and my overall college

I have been in helping committees to help my school stay clean and help set up events going on at my

For my community service I volunteer at the event to help organize before and during the symposium. I helped organize the discussion

I also helped with building emergency non-perishable food boxes for individuals and families, and worked with a team of volunteers to fill backpacks with a set menu of nutritious foods that kids can help themselves to all weekend long.I learned that you don’t have to be a student looking for practicum hours. Or have a court order to touch other peoples life .you can donate your time and touch so many life, anybody can volunteer to help at the Kansas food bank .I met a lot of people who brought their family just to help ,also I leaned that do not take life for

We assisted the parishioners of the church where we were being housed by helping them complete some of their own projects, including using heavy duty cleaning supplies to remove the mold in the kitchen, replacing the ceiling tiles and replacing the baseboards that had been removed for painting. At Memphis Union Mission we sorted donations of both toiletries and clothing that were to be given out to the homeless in the area. We separated items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner so they could be packaged up and disseminated to those in need. Once the sorting process was completed, we went downstairs to help the pastor serve lunch in their soup kitchen. When we were volunteering at the Refugee Empowerment center, we helped the children of immigrants complete their homework, many of whom were not fluent in the English language. Once their homework had been finished, we taught them a popular game called ninja. At Girls Incorporated we first helped the students to finish their homework and then played some volleyball and kickball with them, a gesture that was well

At my ongoing placement year at KPMG, I was recently assigned as the In-charge for a group of three summer undergraduate interns from the months of June – August 2016. My role included acting as a guide to the new recruits, showing them the ropes of the various functionalities of the unit, and being their first point of contact in case of any issues or challenges that may arise at work. This was a very good experience that gave me an insight on leadership in the professional environment, and also gave me the chance to see the importance of not only to be a “teacher” in a position of leadership but also the relevance of being a “student” as well. At university, I had the opportunity to be the Treasurer of the FXU chapter of Enactus, a society

Our freshman seminar class volunteered and helped fundraise for JDFR which helps fund and research Type 1 Diabetes. Some of us did the walk, and others helped by fundraising at a table. Personally, I sat at the table for three hours and fundraised. Overall, I thought that this was a nice and enjoyable experience.

Involvement with local organizations/volunteer work, etc: More recently, my efforts have been focused on raising money for Folsom families in need. In 2015, we were able to raise over $6,000 dollars for an injured Folsom Fire fighter & his family after a tragic event. We raised another $5,000 for a Folsom resident who passed

While in college, I served as the Assistant Director for the Tutoring and Mentoring Committee. This allowed me to volunteer in

During my third semester, I became the Event Coordinator of the Society of Physics Students. I also helped to gain official recognition at FIU for Sigma Pi Sigma, the physics honors society. As its President, I worked closely with the other executive board members to direct the society. We set a goal to foment comradeship between the physics majors, to build a support network to help students succeed in their academics. This was similar to how MDC helped me.

Activities I have been involved in include: the Meals on wheels Thanksgiving Day deliveries for the past three years. On Thanksgiving Day I am given a list of houses and addresses to deliver the meals to that the Argyle NY fire house prepares. This is one of my favorite days of the year because you see the amount of people that appear to assist with the same selfless act, and it is just astounding. Another community service project I participated in with the Biological Honor Society is the Schoharie County Mass Drug dispensary drill for the department of Health. This was in case of a state of emergency to test how well the county could accommodate for each person’s needs, whether it be medical, shelter, or food and water. This activity showed me how chaotic an emergency can and will be, which is an excellent opportunity is for a nursing student. The purpose was to record how many people they could get through the building in one hour. In addition to the Mass Drug Dispensary Drill, I participated in the Mass Casualty Drill that Bassett Health care in Cobleskill New York needed assistance with. They had just opened a new emergency room and needed to test their efficiency. The eight members of the Biological Honor Society assisted including myself in pretend collision between a Volkswagen Jetta and a bus. I had the symptoms of paralysis and numbness in the legs, so they hauled me onto the stretcher and took my first ride in an ambulance, and I will say that it is not very comfortable. When I arrived at the Hospital they took all my vitals, MRI, and CT, and then they actually decided I needed to immediately be shipped to Ellis Medicine for further

I was in charge of collection prizes for the Spin Prize Wheel. We used the Spin Prize Wheel to attract more students to participate in the event. We had 214 students volunteering the day of the event, two boxes of food and over 90 13gal trash bags full of clothes

I earned volunteer hours as a member of the County High Students in Philanthropy organization. I joined Students in Philanthropy my junior year in high school mostly because I wanted it on my college applications but partly because my mom has a part of the organization when she was getting her degree. My mom loved being a part of Students in Philanthropy and so I thought it would be the best choice for me. I had no clue just how much fun I would have over the course of two years. I definitely did not expect to become a member of State College’s Students in Philanthropy when I started college two years ago, however I am now a member and I love it.

When I reached high school, I became a part of the La Salle Scholars program and completed various service projects which, looking back, were all related to the field of social work. My overall project, which I actually started in fourth grade, involved collecting soda pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House from family, friends, churches, fire stations, and local can recycling centers. During a three-year period in high school, I collected over 500 pounds of tabs and the organization used the money from redemption to support and house families of children in area hospitals. In addition, I led a discussion group on bullying and self-esteem for children ages 6-12 at the local Boys and Girls Club. The next year, I mentored a seventh-grade student who dealt with extreme bullying and had difficulty in her classes. Finally, my senior year, I collected prom dresses for students who could not afford them and worked at an event in Newport to distribute them. These projects had a great impact on my desire to pursue a helping profession and I was proud to be able to make even a small difference in the lives of others.
