During orientation the volunteer coordinator, Abigail Linville talked about the organizations policies and why they exist and are enforced. The orientation consisted of issues concerning safety of volunteers, children and staff; sexual harassment; and inappropriate actions with children. She also spoke on personal and potential tender situation that had occurred such as sexual misconduct and the physical handling of children. I did notice the orientation, there was no mention of different cultures. We were informed about what the children were allowed to watch and the computer and what they were not allowed to watch. Concerning discipline actions and speaking with children concerning certain actions we were informed to speak with them on inappropriate actions, however, put children in contact with a counselor with further actions or higher level actions are needed.

I would grade papers and tests for Walton-Verona Middle School's 6th grade reading and math teachers. This was a unique experience as it allowed me to see the struggle that teachers went through. Most of the reading papers I graded were not very good to my standards. There was punctuation and spelling errors and sometimes the students would even spell their name wrong. Also I would grade the papers while class went on and I was able to see how teachers dealt with the students. I was surprised and in awe with how swiftly and easily the teachers were able to calm down the students and keep their own temper when they would have to repeat instructions over and over again. I had always known teaching was a stressful job, but seeing it with my own eyes further confirmed it. I have a new found respect for them. They deal with rude kids a lot for a living and still are able to be kind and polite. They even become parental figures to students more than the students' actual parents. Seeing the teachers in action and not be a
As a recent graduate of the Johns Hopkins University and a new Research Technician at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, becoming more familiar with different healthcare settings and helping others in doing so have always been of my interest. From my experience of volunteering as a piano teacher for inner-city children in Baltimore, I have learnt that even a small commitment and emotional support can make a big difference in the daily lives and the happiness of those in need. I have briefly familiarized myself to the hospital environment by shadowing physicians and conducting biomedical research but have yet to translate my volunteering experiences and the lessons learnt from them to the healthcare setting. I am a friendly, optimistic,

This agency teams with many different agencies around Richmond to help parents and children coop and learn way to avoid situations of abuse. My duty for volunteering was teaming with Virginia Commonwealth University Health Services and making SCAN a known organization throughout Richmond community. VCU threw a wellness block party that included many different health services but also gave members of the community to learn and seek help with many different organizations that were there promoting their business or organization. I sat with one other girl and passed out flyers and contact information to those who were interested in the organizations. I explained to individuals what the program was about and the benefits of the program. I had one particular interaction with this young mother who explained she was in a situation where children were being abused and the authorities were notified and now she’s seeking counseling for her and the children involved. I and the other young lady volunteering with me were able to give her information on the program and also contact numbers to individuals that could help her situation.

The smell of fresh coffee brewing and donuts surrounded me as I strolled into the break room. I was ready for another week of summer camp as a camp counselor assistant. Suddenly, the volunteer coordinator rushed in. She informed me that I was relieved of my position as a volunteer at Children's Museum because I had failed to fulfill my duties. After 4 years of service, I was “fired” because of a lapse in judgment.

Since volunteering in various youth organisation in my early teens, I have been drawn to a career in teaching, imparting my knowledge and making a difference in the lives of young people. Positively impacting upon children as they develop in self-awareness, confidence and ability, is an enormous privilege.

I enjoy leading reading groups and through this I have an appreciation of the pivotal importance of literacy.

In an attempt to end the fight against hunger one must experience it in some way, shape or form. Whether that be through personal experience, the stories of others, volunteering, research, etc. you have to have some understanding as to how individuals are effected. This important in finding the right course of action or the right solution.

Booker T. Washington, an American educator, said, “Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.” The “happiness” to which Washington refers, is shown to the Hispanic community through the nonprofit organization, El Centro Hispano. This organization cherishes volunteers who show an aptitude for learning and contributes to the community. Within five years of volunteering, I have developed into a mature young lady with a desirable passion for helping out the Hispanic community. I had the pleasure to volunteer at El Centro Hispano, which offers educational programs or financial assistance to those in need.
