There are a lot of different reasons and places you can volunteer at, such as the soup kitchen, highway cleanup crews, and the neighborhood watch, not only because it affects you directly but also because it helps the community immensely.

I have been involved with several service activities throughout my life. Some of the more recent services that I have participated in include: Helping set up and helping teach underprivileged children at the Children's Defense Fund Freedom School. Here I volunteered my time during the summer helping set up the classrooms and supplies, moving and unpacking and organizing; supplies, food, and donations the summer program. I also helped out this summer program by checking people in and out, guiding and directing people where to go, and unload and load the children onto the busses. During the summer I also volunteered a week of my time to be a “buddy” to a special olympiad at their Special Olympics Athletic Retreat. Being a “buddy” included self regulation, chaperoning on field trips one on one, assisted with self care skills when they where needed. Also this summer I volunteered my time for four weeks being a counselor in training at the Stowe YMCA. This included reading to the campers, helping serve meals to the campers, Chaperoning on field trips with the campers and being camp counselors to campers in grades pre-k through fifth grade. I also have been participating on my temple’s youth group advisory board. There I help determine, plan, organize, and run group activities and social events for the youth groups. I have been doing this for the past three years. This group also partakes in several community service projects throughout the

The first couple days I was pretty upset about the whole thing. First day that I went to Tabitha it was very upsetting to not see anyone in the common ground socializing with others. Also, it was upsetting seeing how some of the nurses in Tabitha treated some of the patients. For example, one guy, wouldn’t even acknowledge that one elderly lady was trying to ask him a question. When he did acknowledge her he didn’t even answer the question and walked away.

I'm harassed daily at Pitt University, Greensburg under the Hands of William Bill Franicola. These employees know they can get away with their action of laughing in our faces, slurs, hand gestures and comments Mr. Franicola is present letting this behavior continue. Nothing is confiding at Pitt after Joe told me he was keeping an eye on Bob Godzik, outside the pole building Donna Myers, Vicki Hoak is pointing there two fingers at Bob saying they are keeping their eyes on you then moving their fingers towards their eyes. They did the same Hand gestures to Dan Kelly when Bob Godzik was present in the office. When Joe changed my work area to Cassel Hall due to harassment from Bob and Julie Godzik after the change there was several anti-Bullying

Aging is a natural part of life. However, many people struggle to stay active in their golden years. The attentive staff at National Church Residences is committed to the health and overall well-being of their clients and residents. Their senior living community in Chillicothe, OH, has provided safe, affordable, and comfortable housing to seniors for more than 50 years. As innovative leaders in home and health care for the elderly, they work hard to fulfill the social and human needs of older adults.

Through Phi Alpha Delta law fraternity in law school, I have volunteered at the Habitat Restore in St. Louis cleaning up and organizing the merchandise. In undergraduate school, I volunteered almost monthly at the Habitat Restore in Champaign, IL through the University of Illinois Habitat for Humanity. I was heavily involved in the organization as a general member and as a member of the construction committee. As a construction committee member, I scheduled students for build days and delegated tasks at the worksites. I also helped plan the Spikin’ for Homes Volleyball Fundraising Tournament and a Trick or Treat for Change Fundraiser for Halloween. As a general member, I participated in builds and worked sconcession stands for Illini football

Lisa, I am so proud of you for selecting The Salvation Army. This place is somewhere where people can go for a hot meal, place to sleep, and a kind word. I think this company provides many helpful services for the men, woman, and families in our community. I have volunteered there helping with meals and brought my two children along. I felt like they needed to witness how good their lives are and give back to the community too. This was an eye opener for them and they came away with a better understanding of the real world and what they have. I recommend all children volunteer there to get them thinking how good they have it verses the people there. The company is non profit and provides these services for free. This is why people should donate

My place of choice in the agency I choose for my volunteering was The Habitat for Humanity of New Castle County. It is located at 1920 Hutton St, Wilmington, DE 19802. It also has a “ReStore” where they sell restored furniture which is located 3312 Seminole Ave, Wilmington, DE 19808. Habitat for Humanity has 1,400 comunities and is in 70 countries around the world. The person in charge who I was in contact with was Ruby Dyer. She oversaw who volunteers and the specific job duties of most individuals. The executive director of Habitat for Humanity is Jonathan Reckford. Reckford has been the CEO since August 4th 2005.

After looking through all the possible places to volunteer I chose Tabitha Healthcare Services because I have many years of experience working with children and felt since in my future career I'll be working the elderly it would be beneficial to do that now. I am excited about working within the Tabitha organization and my first choice is to volunteer for Meals on Wheels. I love spending time with elderly people and hope I'm able to bring them a little bit of sunshine with their meal each day. The decision of where to volunteer was not a difficult one for me since I have experience working with children already I thought it would be a good decesion to work with a different

There are many different places that you can volunteer at, and they are very good choices. Places like the Salvation Army, Meals on Wheels, and Red Cross are all excellent places to volunteer, and I respect and encourage any person that is willing to put in time for an organization and not get anything out of it. I know how hard it is to say to yourself that you will get up and help an organization for nothing because I have done it. I also know the how rewarding it is to volunteer. This is partially one of the reasons that I volunteer. I personally prefer an organization, called Camp of the Rising Son. I prefer to volunteer at Camp of the Rising Son as a cabin counselor because of the fact that they are a Christian organization that teaches young children about Christ, and that I already have the necessary skills needed to excel, and because of the impact it makes on my life personally.

I learned that there are 5 people with special needs working in the Champaign location, the only reason why there aren’t more is because Diane is the only one that is qualified to oversee and accommodate those with special needs. She also told us that contrary to popular thought those with special needs are sometimes at the same level or even better and more efficient workers than those that are fully abled. I also found out that despite Goodwill being all about servicing the community there are still many payments that the store needs to make, for example for rent and paying employee salaries. Students can learn a lot from doing community service and volunteering, for example, I learned that even an hour of someone’s time can make a huge impact in helping a greater cause. Diane was so thankful that we came to help the store and the employees seemed to also enjoy the fact that someone new was working with them. Volunteering can also help to broaden a person’s lens, you don’t really realize how fortunate you are until you see the conditions in which others have to shop. Diane told us that some volunteers that she has had in the past had to volunteer their time which they would later report back to organizations in order to receive food stamps. My experience at Goodwill was very rewarding and I was glad that I took time out of an average Saturday in order to make a larger impact on the Champaign

I volunteered at the Lions Park Senior Center as one of the tasks from my social work class. I was assigned duties at the gymnasium, that is where I have experienced most of the volunteer time. Supervising the posture to use certain machines, instructing new members on the use of the machines and looking up for the safety of the seniors at the gymnasium has been my routine. I helped filling groceries bags that were distributed to members of the center. As a volunteer, I assisted in arranging rooms for classes, meetings, and different activities like a health’s fair. I also contributed arranging and inventorying the puzzles in the library. There was also a free haircut day, where I assigned the sequence numbers to organized individuals

TGS Company does not possess very many assets such as plant, property and equipment. Instead, they have explained that their most important and valuable asset is their employees. TGS Company is highly dependent on skilled employees operating the company, and they rely on their skills to keep the operation running smoothly. Their employees utilize a variety of skills to create new ideas and help the company stay competitive in the market. Without their employees, TGS would start losing customers, sales, and their profits would plummet. After doing our initial internet research about TGS, we came across numerous negative employee reviews. The reviews that were found came from current employees as well as previous employees. The following

Over the summer, I volunteered at a Habitat for Humanity Restore on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays; each session would usually last for three hours. The store regularly accepts donations, such as furniture, and then resells them at a heavily discounted price for low-income families to purchase. After spending over 50 hours storing and organizing donations, I realized the store was very dependent on volunteers because the staff was very limited. My experience at the restore taught me that volunteers are crucial for the well-being of communities as they make beneficial programs, such as the restore, possible.
