There are a number of ways in which I plan to make a difference to the world, one way of offering my volunteer services to a number of organizations that I am assisting with. As a member the AAUW of Redlands I plan to make a difference by committing to help support local women in the community that hope to empower themselves in many aspects of their lives. Volunteering for me means that I am able to provide support to anyone that needs it thus, this not only enable’s me to meet new people, but make friends and form a lasting relationship with others that have the same vision and drive as me. I believe that volunteering is just one form of how you can help make a difference to someone, but there are simpler ways to make a difference too, such as helping your disabled neighbor with running errands and picking up a few items from the local grocery store for them. This is what I do for my neighbor and she appreciates the help and I feel a sense of satisfaction that I have helped make life little easier for my neighbor. We support each other when we can and it is quite a blessing to be able to help and support each other when in need. I also help at my son’s soccer team as a parent volunteer in the CAPS Program run by the Loma Linda University Church. It is a program that aims to promote healthy living habits for children and the Goal4Health is a soccer program which enables all ages of children to take part in a sporting physical activity to promote a healthy lifestyle.
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
In todays society there are many things that people can be involved in. One is volunteering. Local organizations around my community are always looking for people to come in and help volunteer with the young and the old. A local Boys and Girls club is one that I volunteer at when ever I get a chance to. Volunteering with the Boys and Girls Club has allowed me to help the boys and girls to have a safe place to come learn and grow while having fun. It is a place where young people can come and know someone cares about them. Volunteering makes a difference in the lives of boys and girls in the community. (Volunteer1) Volunteering with the Boys & Girls Club has taught me more about the organization, what a volunteer does, and what I can learn from volunteering.
volunteering is a person who freely offers to take part in an enterprise or undertake a task. In this report i will talk about the different types of volunteering in the:
Volunteering means using my time to help people who can’t help themselves or is in need of help. Everytime I finish volunteering, I feel good about myself because I know I’ve just helped the community in some sort of way. A little bit of my time can mean the world to someone. I know if I continue to volunteer, I can make a greater difference in the community. I can contribute to Methodist Hospital’s mission by helping patients with whatever they need, being extremely honest and trustworthy, coming up with innovative ways to deliver service to everyone, and being open about communicating.
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
I am committed to many different community events including Special Olympics, Ronald McDonald house, and M-Fuge. Within each of these events, I contribute my time, talent, and treasure to address others issue of inequality. Special Olympics is a community service group that helps disabled and diseased men and women bowl. This community service event means a lot to me because I have built relationships with the people. Another thing that I like it that there are Teams, but they are all very kind, nice, and loving to each other. Everyone's there to help one another and support each other. One example of this is when anyone gets a strike or spare, everyone I cheering for them giving them high fives and hugs! Another community service I do is volunteering at the The Ronald McDonald house. At the Ronald McDonald house, we make all the families staying there dinner and desert. This community service means a lot to mean because I feels good to feed those in need of food, who are poor because their trying to provide for their children. The last type of community service I do is attending a camp called M-Fuge. My youth group has gone to Belmont University (Tennessee) and North Greenville University (South Carolina) both for the M-Fuge Camp. Within this camp, we go to local underprivileged and poor schools throughout the city, helping them with homework
The great Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Life's most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others?” I deem this to be a vital question that everyone should ask themselves. I wholeheartedly agree that serving others impacts your community in a positive light. Therefore, I've made it my duty to volunteer with students throughout my community. This is because I’m very proactive about seeking change in the area I grew up in.
As a volunteer I've learned the value of service to others and to the community, and I've seen the impact it has on those involved. I’ve seen so many people, especially through church outreach, positively affected by those who use their time and talents to serve others. Although volunteering has benefited me externally in many ways, such as my Eagle Scout Project and NHS hours, I’ve also gained a greater understanding of who I am as a person. I’ve learned how important service is and how it can benefit myself and others around
The activities that I have participated in such as the Food Bank volunteer and church volunteer, have made the community around me healthier and united. My participation impacts everyone who needs these help. By showing that the younger generations like mine are interested and is actively seeking to help out the society, people could feel more united and bonded around the community to seek out how we could help them.
I do not like to have spare time so with every opportunity I get I feel that it is my duty to give back to the community. I want to make sure that no one feels like and outcast and that everyone is special. Every Wednesday’s I volunteer at Regent Care nursing home and on Thursday’s I volunteer at Christus Santa Rosa in New Braunfels. I am in A.R.E and have volunteered at the Fun Fish Friday event for 2 years, helped keep score at the Larry Turner Classic Wheelchair Basketball Tournament, worked concession stands at the Farmer Fred Festival and Dance for Adults with Disabilities, and finally, volunteered at the Texas Regional Qualifying
I undertook 2 years of volunteering at the local nursing home, which allowed me to experience a new side of healthcare. Feeding and talking to elderly patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s highlighted the importance of empathy in the profession allowing the patients to trust you , along with learning the art of caring whilst working alongside and speaking to the carers. I am grateful to have the opportunity to experience the hidden and less glamorous parts where I witnessed the residents I worked with deteriorate over the time of a year, yet seeing her smile when she looked at me outweighed any pain that would have been caused. Knowing just talking and feeding the patients can make such a big difference in a patient’s life allows me to be
I love to help as much as I can with anything possible. The biggest thing that i've done to help my whole community is donate blood. I love doing this because it can help anyone, since I have O- blood it can be donated to anyone. I always feel superior knowing I helped save a life and one day I know someone is going to help me. It's the whole giving and getting back thing because it's not about donation, it's about making a difference. My biggest self-importance is helping people either physically or mentally and this is one big way to help in both categories. The steps I took to accomplish this is focusing on the lives I may help and looking at the differences I can make may last a lifetime. I was inspired by learning in medical class that
Throughout my life, I have found importance in extending a helpful hand to my local community. In the past years, I have volunteered at my church as not only a child care provider but also a vacation bible school teacher's assistant. I have also spent numerous hours volunteering at Georgetown Middle High School as a tutor and mentor to middle school and high school students. Throughout all four years of high school I played soccer, but now that I am in college, I periodically play a friendly game every so often. Exercising and remaining active is important for mental and physical health and I take every opportunity to encourage others to do so, including volunteering as an assistant coach for my hometown's middle school track team. I have realized
It is always a great time to volunteer, as it is a critical part of the United States Economy as well as the economy around the world. It is not only a great contribution to society, but a great contribution to what is relevant, it could be for a cause very close to you like volunteering at the neighborhood watch or something that can change the lives of millions of people like volunteering as a firefighter, nurse, natural/civil disaster areas worldwide, and the list could go on, but the idea is always there, and that is, to volunteer for a greater cause.
Volunteering, according to its definition means that one partakes in an act without expecting or getting anything in return. Now, if this is the definition, and always has been, then why are some school districts, such as the Montgomery County Public Schools, requiring service hours for high school graduation? Having this extra prerequisite for graduation would not only reduce students’ already minimal free time, but it would also add another load of stress on the students throughout the school year, and, to top it off, this requirement would defeat the entire purpose and spirit of volunteerism.
