Describe Your Involvement And Leadership Role

Many of my volunteer opportunites involved kids. Helping the youth of my community, and any other community, brings bright minds to the future and ones that can continue the trend. Not only has volunteering helped children, but it also benefited me. I’ve built wonderful friendships and leadership skills from giving back. I learned the values of hard work and dedication.

I currently do not volunteer at a particular place regularly, but volunteer at various places as much as I can and have accumulated over 250 hours while in high school. By volunteering, students get an opportunity to serve the community and provide help to those who need it, yet not expecting anything in return. For me, I have learned the value of hard work, especially when it makes other peoples’ lives better while volunteering.

Most people find volunteering a fulfilling and rewarding experience. However, I do not always feel that way. Sometimes I feel like my work is not very enjoyable or that it contributes little to helping others. Thankfully, at Maliheh Free Clinic, I felt not only that my work was fun and helpful but that I was part of a family--a family of volunteers, doctors, and patients. My internship at Maliheh taught me the joy of helping others through dedication and hard work.

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

Each of us will show we are leaders by being positive role models for these young people by showing them we genuinely care about them and their futures. We represent the service component by taking time to work in an organization that is in need of volunteers. We recognize that this is not a faith-based organization, but we chose to act on our individual faiths by doing God’s work and serving others. We will demonstrate the pillar of learning by working with children from different backgrounds than we grew up in. Also, we will encourage the children to learn through mentally stimulating activities in a fun

I am a graduating senior who shows civic-mindedness by volunteering at my local YMCA. I believe by helping the younger generation, it helps me to develop the skills that will be essential in my future. In continuation, these skills will have a big impact on my profession career.

This report will confront the issue at the Sheridan County YMCA and its lack of space for its After School Program. Over the last eight years since the program’s start it has become a wonderful opportunity for families in need of childcare in the hours between the children’s release from school and when they get off work. The program has gained a promising reputation, that being said, it has also gained a hefty waitlist of parents in hopes of their children being accepted into the program.

My volunteer background at Oakdale Elementary School and Backus Hospital has provided me with many skills and the understanding of dealing with different personalities. As a volunteer at Oakdale Elementary School I was responsible for managing and assisting the teacher with a third grade class. During my experience at Oakdale Elementary school, I learned

I have assisted with babysitting and being involved with leadership clubs, however, this past summer was the best voluntarily experience I have ever done. I volunteered at the San Fernando Recreation Park’s summer day camp for eight weeks. Not only was I being prepared to become a counselor, but I obtained skills there, such as patience and responsibility.

I spent the last five + years working daily with students and their families as the director of an after school program and summer camp sponsored by the City of Philadelphia Department of Human Services. These programs were created to prevent truancy and reduce child abuse and neglect. My program had a STEAM and literacy focus. As director, I was responsible for managing all aspects of program administration from meeting the state school-age child care health and safety standards, to hiring and supervising staff, to selecting and implementing curriculum.

I have the privilege of being involved with such an impactful organization. While helping, youth developed lifestyle skills, I’m also developing skills. Each year I form some amazing relationships that create lifelong friendships. Excitedly each encounter with the youth helps build my belief on why it’s important to help others along my journey. Therefore, being involved with this organization has transform and impacted

After a single telephone call to the Children’s Hospital Volunteer Services Coordinators, I learned that volunteers were readily accepted to serve within the hospital’s recreational therapy deparment. When they asked my reason for volunteering, I explained to them that I wanted to help the children develop their leadership potential as well as other abilities. The members of volunteer services seemed excited.

I volunteered every 1st, 3rd and 4th Sunday in the 1-5 age group. Volunteering here guided me to my passion and it showed me that caring for younger kids is my gift and that’s what I’m meant to do. Whether I was taking the kids to the bathroom, interacting with them during play time or organizing them for snack time someone whether an adult or one of my peers would

Besides being Co-Editor-In-Chief and a 2nd-In-Command I volunteered as a day camp leader in the summer of 2016 with the City of Brampton. I encouraged children to be active and enjoy the outdoors. I also led an assembly to help welcome grade nine students to the school by teaching them school cheers and playing team-building games.

As a volunteer at the YMCA, I was able to revamp my communication skills through brainstorming ideas within the organization. In the time period of 1 year and 8 months, I aided key components of the organization such as the aquatics department and lifesaving programs. One of the major learning outcomes that I gained from this experience was the importance of being a team player. Working alongside fellow volunteers gave me the opportunity to learn about succeeding as one working unit. It became clear that giving feedback, aiding one another and setting a good example was crucial in order to progress. Under our strategic plan we worked towards making connections: connecting people,connecting with the youth and connecting with the community.
