The Importance Of Community Service

I volunteered in the community mostly through our soccer teams. From Freshmen year to Senior year I have helped out with our Modified soccer teams. I helped coach with Travis Antilla, Adam Soke, and Dillon Nugent. The players all respected me because I was an older player and on the varsity team. I feel I really assisted in spreading the soccer culture to players and teaching them more about the game. I was doing little things to push them such as, always running, cleaning up after practice, and practicing even more afterwards. The importance of this was that, the kids who saw me doing the “harder work” realized that they could do it as well. Andrew Belcher, one

I volunteered at the Gonzales City volleyball clinic where I assisted the head coach by helping the young volleyball players learn how to set, serve, hit, and bump. I did this three times a week for three hours each day. The clinic consisted of children from ages 7-14 and each age group went in at different times. Also, I did community service at my local St. Theodore Church by helping in the jumping house at the church carnival. For the past four seasons I helped fundraise at the high school football games by selling food at the stadium snack bar. In every home football game I would stay for more than half of the game in the snack

What does community service mean? Community service, to me, means bettering the community with volunteering at local places, business, or helping the people themselves. Community services is very important due to most of the things in a community such as parks, food banks, etc. being ran/used by the community.

What makes you genuinely feel good with yourself? Is it organizing your room, cooking in the kitchen or, participating in your favorite hobby? For me, it’s doing a community service that reaches out and helps others with any problems that they face. My family has always influenced me to participate in different community services to be involved with the community, increase my positivity and to become a great role model for my younger sister, which did rub off as she now volunteers in service. As I progress through my life, I realized that being a humanitarian is needed as a sense of positivity in my life and it also increases my social skills.

Cheerleading has always been a major passion of mine, and I have been lucky enough for the past two years to volunteer while doing something I love. Beginning as junior, I started with this volunteer organization. For the past two years I have worked with young girls ages ten and eleven. I began working with them in July and finished in October. Each week, I prepared new material such as, cheers, dances, and stunts, and would then teach this material to them twice a week at practice. I also attended the football games where I monitored and helped them

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

I mainly did these volunteer service hours during my time in high school and some others in grade school that I can’t quite remember. For my first three years in high school each student had to get a certain amount of service hours. For all three years I chose Merrimac Park for the location I would choose. It was close to me and I went there often. My first year I simply walked around the park and picked up all the trash I spotted. The second year I did this but then I also asked if they would let me help in the park house as well. They said yes so whenever I came I would sweep the floors of both the hallways and the gym. The third year I was once again looking to do a little more so I offered my services as a score board operator for the youth flag football league I had once been a part of at the park. I knew the person in charge of the athletic programs at the park so he agreed. I was even allowed to ref a few games because I know the basic rules having been in the league and also playing football myself in high school. I think that year was my favorite out of the three. I loved cleaning the park but adding on the role to help out the flag football league was a blast. It was something that at the time I was passionate about and had a close tie with. To be able to help was truly an honor and made me glad I was able to volunteer my time at the

I knew what helping the community looked like especially since I had to do community service to graduate high school. Most of my community service house came from going on a mission trip with my church to a different state. When on this trip we would build a church for a week, but the people that went on this trip were all people that I knew. The only people I didn’t know were the people that we would stay with. Since I have been on these trips since I was about eight, I have been able to take on more responsibilities and become more of a leader on the job site to the younger kids. This has transitioned over to my sports and classroom here at Bridgewater. I have been able to become a better leader both on and off the field in sports and also to organize study sessions for

My most recent community involvement activity was being a volunteer baseball coach. As a coach, I was responsible for running drills in practice, holding practices when no other coaches were available, and keeping the score book during games. Being able to share my live of baseball has always been a passion of mine, and it was the most gratifying part of being a coach. I loved being able to help others love baseball as much as I do, all while improving their skills.

Throughout my senior year, I was captain of the cheer team and the basketball team. I really enjoyed leading them through the challenges and the successful times. Also, every other Friday I travel to our elementary school with some of my fellow classmates, and help the teachers and students out with any necessary tasks. We work one on one with the students, and sometimes we just listen to them read and pronounce words correctly. I think that I serve my community with great effort.

I have gained a lot from my community and those around me, and was thinking what could I do to give back to my community. The Penn Hills Soccer Association has done a lot for the children in the area and one of those being me.

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.

In my high school career, I have received over 200 hours in community service recorded. I have volunteered at the FFA tri-tip dinners, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation dinner, other various FFA activities, and events in addition to spending 140 of my time volunteering through the Lemoore Aquajets. I volunteered in the summer of 2015 to become an assistant coach of 6 and under boys for the local recreational swim team. I first had to apply to become an assistant coach and was ecstatic when I found out I had received the position. My job was to assist the head coach in teaching kids how to competitively swim backstroke and freestyle.

The question of young adults devoting a year of time to the military or community service is an interesting one. I will address the community service requirement first in my essay, since many high schools, including Sturgeon Bay, require community service hours to graduate. Personally, I found my community service experiences rewarding and helpful. My first experience was volunteering at the CP Center in Green Bay. Since I moved to Sturgeon Bay between my freshman and sophomore year, this experience was done prior to my move to Door County.
