Volunteering gives me the opportunity to be there for someone and to change people’s lives including my own. Volunteering to me is a way of giving back to the community or someone in need of help. For as long as I can remember I have always had the passion for helping people especially children and the aged, thus my interest in nursing. Any opportunity to perform an act of kindness made me happy that at least I could be of help to someone. From taking care of my siblings and cousins, babysitting, helping friends and among others. Of the many goals I have in life the most important one is to provide help to those in need through my commitment of service. I volunteered at a daycare school closer to me and

The largest homeless shelters have had to start limiting the amount of time a person can stay because of the increase in demand.

At a young age I discovered a passion for helping others and I have continued to be passionate about serving my community since then. At the age of eight years old I began the first year of what would soon be my ten year membership of 4-H. Through that program and my church’s youth group I truly began to understand what selfless service was all about. I first began helping others by walking dogs at the local shelter and helping my 4-H club clean the sides of the highways. I later was able to experience several mission trips that opened my eyes to the larger aspect of service. My love for helping people continued to grow as I got older and I continued to find ways to make a difference. One of my favorite experiences was getting to help cook and serve a meal at a homeless

My project involved helping the children in the park to better their skills in Baseball. Many of the children that went to the park had no basic knowledge of playing baseball, so it was my job to help the professional trainers in teaching them the skills required to play the sport well. The original proposal included that I had to maintain the field in playable conditions, but I went ahead and added dirt as well as passed a rake to remove holes in the infield of the baseball diamond. I also had to help the smaller children in batting practice by simply pitching them ten balls each, but I took it a step further by telling them in which way to position their arms and how to better their hitting techniques.

Over the past several months, I have volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House. I prepared snacks for the residents and provided entertainment through arts and crafts for the children who lived there. I enjoyed hearing the stories that the residents shared and learning about their struggles. I specifically cherished painting pictures with a little boy who was a cancer patient himself. His mom told me and other volunteers the heartbreak of his prognosis and the story of his ongoing treatment. During another visit to the house, I had the opportunity to meet two twin little girls from Texas who were looking forward to seeing their first snow. I believe I provided some entertainment for the children in order to give the parents some time for themselves. Also in the past, I have volunteered at several church fundraisers serving meals and clearing dishes. Not to mention, last summer I helped out at Animal Adoption Foundation, an animal shelter where I exercised the animals and cleaned up after them. Plus, for many years I have participated in a community cleanup. Recently, I have also begun helping at Roll Hill Community to provide young boys in low-income families with activities to keep them out of trouble. Finally, through school, I volunteered at Peaslee Neighborhood Center in an impoverished neighborhood working towards bettering the futures of the local children. I found each of these volunteer opportunities to be very rewarding because I believe I am making a difference in my community and other communities and improving the lives of the people I touch. Similarly, I connected with several children experiencing different issues, but nonetheless, I provided the same

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’ll be honest: I’ve had a pretty good life. I’ve had loving parents, who immigrated to the United States so I could have a better future. I’ve had great teachers, who helped me carve an individualized path through school. I’ve had amazing friends, who pushed me to better myself. Yet, these comforts made me recognize the profound importance of service. While I’ve been lucky to receive these gifts from generous donors, it’s precisely by having these opportunities that I know what others don’t have.

The summer of my 9th grade year started a passion that I will never be able to stop. For the first time in my life, my mom pushed me to volunteer at the food bank near my house. Furthermore, she was not working many hours that summer, so she was able to haul me over to the food bank and even volunteer alongside me. At first, volunteering was a chore. I had no desire or determination to get the work done. I was just a wandering worker accomplishing the tasks the manager told me to perform. Among these tasks was organizing food shelves and sorting food. However, one day, my perspective on volunteering at that food bank took a turn around. I was given the task to push out carts of food to people who were homeless, poor, and simply didn’t have

Did you know that 8th graders have to volunteer 5 hours every quarter. Because of that my teacher is asking us to write an essay about where we are going to volunteer next year.I think this essay is just trying to make me look like I am making this essay because I want to help other kids and teach them about volunteering and that I would go interview someone and do research just to volunteer. But I’m not, this is an essay that I am typing to help me find places I can volunteer,how I would volunteer, and how long I would volunteer. This essay wants me to include why I would want to volunteer and what volunteering helps with. It also wants me to tell what my brother said in his interview and what I would volunteer doing. So, I would want to volunteer because it can help homeless people and help animals in need. Volunteering helps people that don't have homes and jobs and also help any animals that don't have owners or were in disasters.

From sophomore to senior year, I volunteered at the Glide Memorial Church, an organization that helps to serve food to the low- income and homeless. I decided to volunteer at Glide because I want to give back to the community that I am part of by mitigating the issue of homelessness in San Francisco. On the first day of volunteering, I was sent to pass trays of food to people. I like volunteering there because I enjoy seeing the smiles on the people’s faces when I pass the trays to them. As I continue to volunteer, I was placed in many positions and challenged myself with different and new responsibilities. I did clear up, help people to clear up their mess and clear up the trash. I help fill in food in the trays and pass the other volunteers.

I have not started my volunteering with Merrimack yet, but I have volunteered in the past. Like Courtney, I volunteered while I was in high school at Cor Unum and at my church’s food pantry. I remember the first time I volunteered at Cor Unum, how depressing yet fulfilling it was. Cor Unum is almost like a restaurant in which volunteers would serve and cook meals for people that were less fortunate and couldn’t afford food. There were many families with young children that would come into Cor Unum and it was just heartbreaking that the meal were were serving them, may be the only thing that they eat that day. Volunteering at these places, specifically Cor Unum, made me realize how many people struggle to get food for their next meal because

Some individuals do not realize how privileged they may be, while some individuals’ live in a bubble and thinks that everyone lives lavish or swell like they do. However, this is not the case. In the United States of American there are approximately forty-five million people or in other words there are about fourteen point fiver percent of people who live below the poverty line. That number may seem not that drastic to you, because you may not come from a household that is considered to be poor, but this level of inequality is not right. Coming form a middle class or upper class home, having a roof over your head, clothing on your back, shoes on your feet and being able to eat more than one full meal a day makes you privileged! Instead of keeping your privilege to yourself, ways in which, you are able to give back to not only your community, but other communities as well. Is through community service.

A few years ago during the summer months I volunteered as a tutor for summer school students at the local Youth Center. I was very excited to be devoting much of my time to giving back to the community I had not seen since a few winters ago. Many coworkers and I were working at various different workshops and going on deployments, and for the first time I was in an unfamiliar situation, but in a familiar place. Since it had been some time spending an extensive amount of time overseas, there was a bit of reacquainting I had to do in order to have a positive social life. Living only a couple blocks from the Center, I remembered that there was often a need for additional volunteers to help cater to all the summer school students who would use the facility after class

I have been volunteering before I was old enough to know I was volunteering. As the youngest of four, I happily came along whenever my parents and siblings volunteered. But, community service is not just something I was taught to do; it is something I love to do. Today, I serve others in ways that are closer to my own heart. Serving people and animals “who don’t have a voice” has been and always will be central to who I am. I spent this summer raising awareness and funds for foster children, and I am excited to use those funds this November to personally decorate and deliver new duffel bags with supplies to foster children in my area. Additionally, I have loved dedicating my time to a local animal rescue where I have participated in animal
