The Importance Of Volunteering In The Community

Community service is an activity you do out of the kindness of your heart for the good of your community. In my opinion community service is a necessary thing for everyone to do because every community always needs work and without people willing to help the communities would be lacking. The community service activity I chose to do for this class is The Medical Mission At Home, hosted by St. Vincent. I decided to choose this community service activity because my mom is a pharmacist at St. Vincent so I have always been super involved with the hospital’s community.

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:

As a citizen of the wonderful city of Laurel, I believe it is my duty to suggest different ideas to keep this city and its people as bright as possible. That is the reason why I believe that we should have a ‘Laurel Reads’ program. Reading is something every person needs and this program would ensure that the people of this city get what they need. Having a book for the city to read can make the entire community closer.

To understand the importance of volunteering, I volunteered at one cultural event in San Antonio downtown. It was the festival of Diwali, a festival of light celebrate in India every year, organized by the San Antonio municipal and Indian Association. In San Antonio’s downtown we have a Riverwalk and the booth was on one side of river with the bleacher and on the other side was the stadium. Folk dances of India were performed on the stage. I volunteered at a booth of drink. My job was to sell soft drinks like coke for a dollar. I made a working there on the booth and we both had almost same interests due to that I was very surprised. There was also another booth next to us. I helped them to load, carry and organize their booth with food. This

The United States, as some can say, is a country known to be a hand in help. Although, they are a help by choice not mandatorly. In the United States there is a great amount of volunteers for many volunteering programs. The amount of volunteers increase through the years for different causes. There are volunteers for schools, churches, sport clubs, and even more. Not only do Americans volunteer but also make donations. Americans do this sincerely from heart, not because it's a law.

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

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.

Fostering a love a reading in students and families is crucial for the academic success of students. In an effort to provide resources and information to fulfill the educational needs and interests of students, it is imperative that the school library try to provide access for students and parents alike during non-school hours. According to the Standards and Guidelines for Library Programs in Texas, part of having an exemplary program under Standard V: Learner-Centered Connections to the Community, Principle 1: the librarian offers families opportunities for participation in the library and educational community (Texas State Library and Archives, 2005, 25). Through this standard, the librarian promotes library programs and offers students, faculty and staff, and families opportunities to participate in school activities and their children’s

Volunteering is a great way to help others in your community. You can simply volunteer to help clean up trash, monitor the elderly, help out at food banks and so much more. At many public events(eg. Fairs, BBQs), there are normally not enough people to help, so volunteering could help make some of these events possible. Also, it feels great to help someone else in need.

Literacy is more than just reading and writing and it involves important underlying principles of how children adapt to literacy skills.
