Mission Statement On Community And Community Service In The Community

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

What does community service means to me? Well, to me community service mean helping your community become a better place. When you do things for your neighborhood, it makes you feel like a better person. There are all sorts of activities you can do in your community. You can work with children at school, work with the elderly, or help people that are less fortunate and make their day very special. Community Service is very important because it gives you a chance to bond with the people in your neighborhood. It will also give you a chance to give back to your community , you’ll learn a lot from your experience, and you’ll make a difference in someone’s life. I recommend a lot of people to go out and make a difference.

I feel that after all of the sacrifices that have been made by the community for my benefit, I have an obligation to give back and re-pay what has been given and more, I have an immense amount of appreciation and gratitude toward my community and all they have done for my peers and I. Community service also plays a big role in my involvement in the youth group at First Baptist Church of Bryson City. each year, a group of teenagers, including myself, participate in multiple community service projects -- whether they are as close to home as the Hospital Hill Road clean-up, or a far away as mission work in Port-au-Prince, haiti. I have been involved in many community service projects, because giving back to my community is something that simply gets done without

I helped with the veterans for my hours it was really a lot of fun they needed help with transporting them back a forth to the lunchroom and taking them to activities they really love people coming up there to see them because nobody cares if they're up there and they never go to see them. They love to see strangers faces even if they don't know you. They would love to tell you stories about how they was young and how they grew up or doing things in the military. They was this one guy he told me how his family was poor and all they had was a field of corn to their name so he wanted to go to the military and make a better life for himself and he said he killed hitler himself and that he was the one who meet george washington and queen elizabeth

Several years ago God moved upon the heart and mind of Bishop T.T. Scott, prelate of the Northern Mississippi Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, to make choice of Pastor Larry Lee Lewis Sr., to serve as the Jurisdictional Youth Department President. For 16 years, President Lewis led our department with dignity, class, vigor and great distinction. Not only has President

With the knowledge that I have acquired at Walden, it is my responsibility to do something with the knowledge that I’ve received. As one of the youth leaders at my church, we have planning meetings to assess our progress within our ministry. Since I have being attending Walden, I have learned a lot about the importance of setting measurable goals, having realistic objectives to achieve a mission. Now, in our meetings I bring awareness to these key components and ignite the group to incorporate these effective strategies to track our development. Some members appreciate my input and others probably wish I would remain silent. But I realize that I have a duty to share and implement what I have learned in a practical non-threatening

Margaret Chase Smith quoted that, “Public service must be more than doing a job efficiently and honestly. It must be a complete dedication to the people and to the nation”. A service club is one of the best resources to utilize to accomplish what was quoted. A service club is defined as an association of business or professional people with the aims of promoting community welfare and goodwill.

The Boston Baptist Church youth group has been one that has thrived in the past years as it reached out to the community at large and attracted youth to it’s programs. In the past year, other churches in the community have decided to reschedule their youth group meeting times to the same time as the Boston youth group. As a result, the population of the youth group has dwindled to an average of five to six youth in attendance. It is interesting to note that the most consistent attendees are ones from the community instead of the church, which is because the church does not have an abundance of youth in the congregation. While this group is very small, every third month there is an opportunity for youth groups in the area to combine and come together for a program called Hive. This program allows for the youth to meet others in the area, have a great time and to support each other in Christ. There are also special events within the Boston youth group once every month where they will go ice skating, go on a hike or something else similar. The goal of this proposal is to; present a plan where we are able to focus on the spiritual growth of the youth and to focus on how we can reach out to the youth in the community.

Volunteerism and willingness to serve others are magnificent character traits to discover while growing up. If one is involved with such activities, they will be able to contribute to society as a whole and “leave a mark” on the world for the better. However, such activities would not be available without the assistance of an outreach coordinator. Such people prepare service projects for the community, non-profit organization, or church in hopes of spreading good will among those affected by these actions. They also must be available to offer support to individuals who walk in and require the outreach coordinator’s services. Jeanna-Mar Simmons, a family friend, generously allowed me to shadow her on April 24, 2014. This wonderful lady is the outreach coordinator for Christ United Methodist Church. During my shadow, I was able to discover the intricacies of the organization behind all the service projects I participate in on a regular basis as well as learn about her relationship with God and how it intertwines with her work and the environment at the church.

At first when I found out I was going to have to do this essay I was not too excited. I had no idea what I could possibly write about because I did not know that things I did on the average day could be considered community service.

Service was really good apart from them forgetting about our bread on the table until our starters had came out we noticed this because everyone else had had there bread before the starters and we never. They served everything really well they never leaned over anyone to serve someone else even though the chairs were close to the window the still managed to get round them to serve them the food. You could tell they had a lot of training and experience with this because they done everything wonderfully. They were also good at keeping a eye on how full peoples glasses were and if they were nearly empty the came and filled it up. The silver served each course and explained what was in each one.

What is revealed here is that most teens are responsible and caring. And so it becomes even more clear that teens are the future so people should respect them. Teens, When you're in public represent your best self to show people that teens are not self centered delinquents. If you're not an adult, view teens as more than the typical stereotype. If you see a teen to something as little as helping someone pick up their dropped books or anything that increases good moral in public compliment them or simply acknowledge

Throughout my experience with my hometown church, I prepared and instructed religious lessons that were entertaining, but more importantly insightful to the youth of the church. Through acting, musicianship, and artistic qualities and strengths, our youth consistently performs for the congregation to express our faith and development as the future generation of this country. Ultimately, I believe I have been able to contribute in a innovative way. I believe my contribution have been informative and revolutionizing through a variety of entertaining and attentive methods. I wholeheartedly believe that my time as a leader in my hometown will eventually reduce the likelihood of these pupils committing wrongful acts and will increase the likelihood of these pupils to pursue a further commitment to religion and

In Maryland, 75 hours of community service are required for students to graduate. Getting in the way of many after school activities, students should not be required to have community service hours to get a diploma.
