Teen LEAD Volunteer Program

During my almost two years of high school, I have earned outstanding grades throughout the turbulence of attending different schools in two different countries. Freshman year was a transition across the United States from the West to East Coast. However, even in the midst of struggling in a drastically new environment, I maintained a 4.0 GPA and received High Honors all four quarters. This year was an even bigger leap from the United States to Japan, but I have continued to maintain my high standard of work. This year, I have kept up a 4.0 GPA and was recognized on Principal’s Honor Roll. Overall, my outstanding academic work is remarkable because I have achieved high grades in all honors classes, all while facing new school environments each year and balancing sports and extracurriculars as well.

Many high school students do not have volunteering program. There are many ways to participate in our community. Schools should require students to participate in volunteer program in their programs in their communities as a requirement for graduation because, it will make students get ready to college, it gives life and work experience for future, and it also strength our community.

As a student at La Salle University, I volunteer in several community service opportunities. I volunteer for the Relay for Life event at La Salle where we raise up to $100,000 for cancer treatment and research. I also help painted an academic after school center in Camden, NJ with other volunteers. This opportunity was personal for me as it was an opportunity to give a small bit back to a place a few of my friends went to when younger. Over last summer I worked at several school age day care centers to help kids learn and catch up in reading and math that they should be at their age. Being able to help people makes me feel a sense of fulfillment, as so many people have help me through life.

Throughout my high school career, I have been involved in many organizations and clubs in school and outside of school. Some in school clubs include National Honor Society, Beta Club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and Mu Alpha Theta. These clubs have influenced my life in school and out by getting me involved in school activities and events like Walk a Mile in Her Shoes and See You at the Pole. These clubs also encourage community involvement. Through Fellowship of Christian Athletes, I was one of the volunteers handing out coats and meals to the homeless at the Current Church of Van Buren’s Christmas Service, and I helped lay wreaths on soldiers’ headstones at my local cemetery. Outside of these clubs, I assisted a friend on his Eagle

You must be 14 years of age to be a teen volunteer. You will be asked to show proof of age.

During the school year, I have partook in numerous community service based events. I have volunteered for the March Of Dimes walk for babies several times, as well as relay for life. I volunteer to assist the band directors at the local middle schools, primarily with assistance in the percussive

Since my Freshman year in High School, I have been involved in many activities. The summer going into my freshman year, I was involved in was a camp called JUNE Project. It is a service camp based in Pottstown, PA. During the fall of my freshman year, I took the book for the freshman Field Hockey team. For the past three years, and I plan to continue for my last year, I have been taking the book and taking pictures for the high school’s Baseball team. Also, I helped run a Youth Praise and Worship band during my sophomore and junior year. For the past three years, and my final year in high school, I have been an assistant Sunday School teacher for St. Peters United Methodist Church. As assistant Sunday School teacher, I help create lesson plans

My volunteer experience ranges far and wide, starting in 2013 when I first started volunteering for the Evergreen Cultural Centre as an usher during shows. This initiated the development of my communicational skills and courage to work with public. These skills were easily transferable to the most recent volunteer position I held at a YMCA residential camp in Gibsons, B.C. In this position I was responsible for children ranging in ages of 7 to 14 for 24 hours a day, 6 days a week. This opportunity helped me understand commitment and responsibility at a deeper level than most, and appreciate the value in teaching children life skills and values. Another important volunteer position I held worth mentioning was the 3 week long position at Pitt Meadows Airport.

Throughout high school, I have been passionate to help the community by participating in multiple

During my high school career, I have been a participant in the National Honors Society, the Beta Club, the McIntosh band program, and the Peachtree City recreational soccer league. I am also currently an altar server team leader at Holy Trinity Catholic Church. I joined Beta Club in the spring of my freshman year, and I currently maintain my membership. I also joined the National Honors Society in the fall of my junior year, and I am also currently maintaining membership in this club. In both Beta Club and National Honors Society, I devote my personal time to helping others in my community in order to create a better society. For example,

I have had lots of leadership opportunities because I take initiative to reach out and get involved. I am a CREATE Exec, the vice chair on a youth council called PLYR and I am in various clubs around school that help me further develop my leadership abilities such as DECA and the swim team. I am a leader outside of school as well as being in a swim club and having a job that allows me to work closely with others to learn skills such as taking criticism better and time management. I am well suited as an Executive for the Yearbook Committee because I am a strong leader in my community that meets deadlines, I am meticulous and am good with delegating roles. I am able to take on the work that needs to be done and finishing tasks in an effective

WBU is starting up a new program for students and faculty called the Student Leadership Volunteer Program. The program will offer volunteer opportunities, fund-raising and working with charities at organizations throughout San Antonio all while spreading the word about WBU. The volunteers have already participated in multiple events including washing headstones of veterans at Ft. Sam Houston Cemetery, collecting toys and clothing for St. Peters St. Josephs Children’s home and Wreaths across America where over 35,000 wreaths were placed at Ft. Sam Cemetery. Other volunteer opportunities will include the San Antonio Food Bank, Animal Care Services, Habitat for Humanity and many more. Nursing students have the opportunity to get on the job training

I’ve volunteered in my community in many ways. I’ve helped organizations, schools, and companies such as Day Kimball Healthcare, The Arc, Ellis Tech Open House, and the Thompson Trails Committee. I spent part of my 2015 and 2016 summer at Day Kimball. I performed tasks such as transporting patients, discharging patients, running errands for staff, and meeting/greeting patients. I also volunteered for The Ark. They had me set up tents, booths, and unload trucks for a car show in Putnam. Also during the summer, I volunteered for the Thompson Trails Committee. The committee had me clear out abandoned walking trails so they’d be fit for public use. The last community involvement I participated in was the Ellis Tech Open House in October

I have also constantly endeavored to strike a balance between academics and extracurricular activities and volunteered certain events held in the institution. I was the volunteer in the committee of STRIDES 2K14 a technical festival “STRIDES” initiated by the college in 2014 and played a major role in the overall success of the event. I even took a part in various Non-Profit and Non-Governmental Organizations for Plantation Programs and Social Service activities like Blood

(6) Activities outside of school: Outside of school I participate in NHS. Currently I am tutoring high school aged students twice a week. In the past I have done other things such as relay for life, trash pickup, clothing drives, and volunteering at school events. Another activity I was very involved with was the Faith in Flint program. Last year, Father Gabriel Richard high school had a group that took various supplies to families in Flint who were in need. Not only did we bring things, we spent time talking with the people and playing with the kids. I found out about the event through NHS, but ended up falling in love with the program and continued to do it though I did not need the service hours. In addition to NHS, I worked for US Fabrication and design. In the summer of 2016 I restored old pickup trucks and repaired cars with my friend and a mechanic who works for the shop. Bringing these awesome vehicles back to life was not only very fun, but I learned a lot I did not know about cars. This past summer I worked at the same company, only this time in the assembly shop full time. We built different pieces of equipment for the assembly lines of Ford, GM, and Chrysler. I learned how to read blueprints, use an angle grinder Ford hosts a High School Science and Technology program for STEM students, and I have been attending this event once a month since 2014.
