My Volunteer Abroad Program

I have many experiences with community service since I am very passionate about helping people and the less unfortunate. I have volunteered in many activities to help my community, for example, Eagle Scream Fest, Dia del Nino, Closet to Closet, Multicultural night and the best one Food for Families. Food for Families is a non-profit organization that distributes free food twice a month. I have been involved with this organization since the beginning which has been two years. I love volunteering with the organization because I am able to see the difference that is making to

I volunteer at events delivering first aid with Newark Community First Aid, so far having

I have been given many opportunities to help others and make an impact in Johnson City through organizations like the Family Medicine Interest Group at ETSU, serving as the coordinator for student involvement in free clinics. I have also been able to make an impact through medicine in Cleveland, TN by way of the Good Samaritan Clinic. This is a free clinic in downtown Cleveland that I have been volunteering at for the past seven years. I have also been directly involved in the start-up of the Just Care clinic in Mountain City, TN, a medical student ran free clinic in rural Appalachia. I was also been able to spend time in rural Guatemala with a medical team from my undergraduate university helping diagnose, treat, and care for patients whom receive little to no regular healthcare. From my own first hand experiences in both Guatemala and my time spent in the Just Care and Good Samaritan Clinics, I have seen the impact that an inadequate health care system can have on a population. I hope to use my medical and public health training in areas that do not have adequate access to health

I believe that this scholarship can help me to achieve and succeed my goals. It also would provide great support not only financially but also provide

Have you ever been on a vacation? Although I have not been on an enormous amount of vacations, but I have been on a few. Of the four to five vacations I have been on, the most favorable trip I have ever been on was when I was seven years old and my family went to Colorado. There, we explored the nearby towns, went dirt-biking, went on a train, and had some mishaps. We also stopped at some amazing places on the way there, including a huge museum in Kansas City.

The Little Willie Center would be a great nonprofit organization to complete my service learning. The organization caters to school-age children whose parents may not be able to provide after school care. In addition to after school services the Little Willie Center offers numerous services such as tutoring/mentoring, transportation, nutritious meals, survival skill classes, PSR Big Buddy Program through the ECU Medical School, Girl and Boy Scouts of America, 4-H Club, and Bible study. I have tutored younger school age children in the past, and participating in the Little Willie Center tutoring and mentoring service would be a great opportunity to increase my teaching skill level. I am passionate about educating the younger generation and the

Last year in high school, I was very active in my school's FFA and NHS chapter. In my chapters, I put together multiple service projects such as canned food drives, clean up after the town's annual rodeo, events to teach the public about agriculture, tutoring sessions, bake sales, and many other events throughtout the year.

After becoming a member of the National Society for Leadership and Success, I participated in countless hours of volunteer work for my community. One particular event that I always attend is the Raid for Kids. This event is a community Halloween event that provides children with a safer alternative to trick or treating. The event occurs on the University campus during day light hours and is supervised by volunteers and organizers. Later on I joined Habitat for Humanity in Albany, Georgia. Last year we participated in neighborhood clean-up projects. Recently Albany, Georgia had a destructive tornado that wrecked havoc on the city. So after the storm we came together to offer our help to people who were less fortunate than we were. This service

I’m currently a volunteer in Project Sunshine organization in New York city. This organization brings recreational, educational and social services to children facing medical challenges and their families by visiting them to their rooms in hospitals. As a member of volunteering team I’m participating

I have been on many trips with my family and friends. My grandma and grandpa dave (mema and pepa) have taken me to Texas and Branson, Missouri where I got to do a lot of fun things. In Texas i got to go to Seaworld and in Branson i got to go to shows and museums. My parents have taken me to Texas, Branson, and Las Vegas. In Texas we have some family so we would go visit them and in Branson we would go ride go carts (even though I don't like them) and go to silver dollar city. In Las Vegas we went to an aquarium and a huge candy shop and also got to go see a really amazing show with crazy effects and tricks. I have been on two sort of big school trips. One was to Dallas, Texas and the other to Anaheim, California. In Dallas we went for one of

I volunteer at two agencies that serve the most vulnerable populations in DC in health related capacities. My experiences have caused me to made me consider a career in non profit dentistry that serves the poor. I have served as a Community Service chair of an organization called 1867 at Howard University; coordinating community service activities for our members. I currently intern working with kids under 5 in nutrition and health where I do nutrition evaluations and lessons. It is so important to use your skills to help others. After a year of working with vulnerable populations of children and young adults in my home state I think will know for sure if this what I want to do for this full time for my whole career in healthcare.

I have volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, getting to paint the house that they already built. Another volunteer activity I have done is with the Arc of Buffalo County by assisting in their Honey Sunday fundraiser by going door to door and selling honey. We also have certain fundraisers and volunteer events that we do within our sorority. One of these events is Sisters for Soldiers. Sisters for Soldiers is a night where we pack boxes of small necessities and candies and send them overseas to soldiers. Part of this event is volunteering to sit outside of grocery stores and asking for donations as well as recruiting members from the community to come and help with our event. Another one of our fundraisers is our Strike Out Arthritis Dodgeball Tournament that we put together every year. Each year we host a dodgeball tournament to raise funds for the Arthritis Foundation. We go around campus and the community to ask students and community members to participate in the event by either making a team or buying raffle tickets. All proceeds go to the Arthritis Foundation and without the support of all the Alpha Omicron Pi chapters in the United States the Arthritis Foundation would not have the funds available to be able to continue

This summer I will be joining East Carolina University's chapter of Medical/Dental Brigades in Honduras. Much of the population in Honduras is living in poverty and therefore living conditions are poor and the country is extremely medically underserved. The Medical Brigades will have the opportunity to provide services that the population is currently not used to having for a whole week. While in Honduras, we will be working with members of the community and providing health care services in areas such as: triage, doctor consultation, dental, OBGYN, pharmacy, and more! Aside from providing health care, the medical brigades will also be participating in a public health project to help the community become sustainable. An example of this would

When I was at the age of 16 years old, my mother, myself, and my sister went to Bousejour,Manitoba to visit my great grandfather who Had a stroke this past year and was left with the disability of moving his left arm. We go for these visits month, well we try.

When I was seven years old I went on my very first holiday abroad, to
