Community Service Paper

One of the best service projects I did this year was Alter serving. Alter serving is when a boy or girl usually around elementary through high school age serves a mass helping the priest with basic things such as holding the book when he reads. There are also some very tough parts of alter serving, such as getting the incense ready. I chose Alter serving because not only am I serving the community, but I am serving God and the church. This is especially important to me because I am a member of

FIRST IMPRESSION PAPER CMS-3700 | SHARAWE AHMED ABDULLAHI M.   Background It is difficult to ignore the fact that we live in a dynamic interconnected society that has many moving parts that each operate dependently with each other. If our world was a vehicle, the many individuals, cadres and groups that coexist with each other, would have some sort of role in this machine. Despite the different pieces differing in the function or they play in society, they are still considered to make up a part

If I had to choose I would say that the community service experience that was the most important to me and changed my life the most I would have to say that it was my service at the local soup kitchen in Hoboken. I was connected to this organization through the community service club at my high school and after meeting the overseers and other volunteers there it felt like a good fit. I know that this is probably starting to seem like the cliché essay about how I have ignored poor people all my life

For this service learning project I choose to volunteer at a hospital. I went to St. Joe's Hospital on a floor called Select Specialty Hospital. On Select’s floor, they have patients that are in severe condition and most people that help out at that hospital cannot go on that floor. In my case, my mom works on that floor so I was able to be on the floor. For the first hour, some of the nurses and nurse aids gave me a tour around the floor. They showed me all of the different rooms, all the medical

The group community service project was done at the Emmett Public Library in Emmett, Idaho. We helped thirty-seven children make “eye-spy” bottles. There were four of us there from CWI that helped out. Heather helped the kids load their bottles with fun toys and trinkets. The kids then went to Andrea Poser who helped them write a list of everything in their bottle. After Andrea, the kids would go to Angela who would help them scoop different colored rice into their bottle to cover the toys. The

Volunteer Community Service Even though this is not my platform or the national platform I want to take this time to explain an event I helped co-organize back in October. “Community Conversation-Surviving & Thriving” was a free, three day event raising awareness for domestic violence at Dickinson State University. The DSU wellness program and I formed a partnership with Karen Van Fossan, communications director for the Prevent Child Abuse North Dakota. The event consisted of the clothesline project

Community service in our society is starting to get a diminished appeal because it doesn't sound fun. Teenagers don't understand what they are doing for other people and our focused on the entertaining aspect of it. When it shouldn't be about that. It should be about helping people, but we are too concerned with ourselves. Required community service would some people good because it would teach them how to do it, but in a way it might ruin the purpose of it. This is because community service and

The efficiency of service can be looked at form multiple angles. Does the motive behind service less than its effectiveness? I will be exploring just that in this paper by evaluating the net benefit to a community and its lasting impact on the individual performing mandatory versus voluntary service. I was drawn to this topic after listening to Tovia Smith’s podcast, ‘Selfish’ Giving: Does It Count If You Get In Return?. Smith interviews many professionals on their opinion on service done for personal

The efficiency of service can be looked at from multiple angles. Does the motive behind service lessen its effectiveness? Effective service refers to benefits communities gain when individuals volunteer.
