The Organization I Volunteered For Was Summerfield High

During my volunteer hours I learned a lot about my own community I that I have not been able to experience. For example I have never been able to participate in so many writing programs and workshops in my local high school, this is because I also did not attend my own local high school because my mother did not allow me to instead, she asked me to attend a charter school. By partnering with LA826, I was able to attend different writing workshops where I would help different high school student write essay, cover letters, and personal statements. Furthermore I believed that most of my activities consisted of just being able to listen to some of the students.

For the volunteer project, I decided to volunteer at the Boys & Girls Club. Volunteering at the Boys & Girls Club has been a great experience. Interacting with the children’s and trying to get to know them little by little has been real nice. Each child is unique in their own way. During my experience volunteering I noticed a couple things that related to what we learned in sociology. Its really hard not to relate anything to sociology anymore; everything seems to be connected.

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.

Thesis Statement: Volunteering in your local community will help those around you and help you feel like you have contributed something positive and it is easier than most people think.

With a regular schedule for all these students, everyone is expected to simply do the work at home, and come back to school to turn it in and receive more and do the same process over and over. But when there are other activities a child can be involved in, it makes routines have a slight change. Especially if these certain “activities” are being a requirement and not just an option because there are always students who never try new activities and miss out on opportunities. Therefore, students should be offered extracurricular activities in their schools because it gains skills and builds pride to be successful academically in Anaheim. In the documentary, “Mad Hot Ballroom” the director, Marilyn Agrelo, states that “the kids that are

With high school helpers at their sides, kids from kindergarten to third grade gathered in the school to make crafts, play games, listen to stories, eat snacks, and watch a spooky drama. While the kids yelled across the table to each other as they colored in paper pumpkins and waited for their crafts' glue to dry, parents, teachers, and high school volunteers shared why they thought the event was important.

For the volunteering assignment, I chose two volunteering events: the “Norcal Community College Counselor Breakfast” and the “CSUEB Education Summit.” Both of these events are being held on the California State East Bay Campus. They are both classified as special events, and they are both hosted by the Prospective Student Services Department. Although each of these events has a specific focus, they are both directly related to addressing the needs of prospective CSUEB students.

We provide top-level extracurricular activities to raise well-rounded children and establish a strong foundation for their lifelong success.

One of our missions is to give back to the community. We accomplish it by donating our time, skills and sources. Constant participation in fund-raising events, 4th of July parades, Mardi Gras festivities and event stand-bys is our pride.

I volunteered at Edison After School Program and I learned many things about my community around me. I volunteered Therefore about three years and people around me started to notice. They felt happy when they volunteered and the kids felt like they belong. These days more people wanted to volunteer that some days it got so full that they had to tell them to go back home. My friends were the ones who mainly volunteered and the parents were more interactive

Throughout the year we will host, as well as co-host many events around campus. In past years we have done an outdoor activities day, an off campus barbeque, movie nights, singing competitions, dance performances, skits, and much more!

“My favorite theme to see students participate in, is spirit out, I love seeing Hempstead students all dressed up in their green and gold, makes us seems as one,” Assistant Principal, Claudette Bees, a game supervisor,

I chose to volunteer at this organization because I have attended that particular school for eight years of my life and have dedicated my life to it during that time. I expected more than three things before I began volunteering, but I will only list three. I expected that the school would be much smaller than I remembered, everything would look the same, and all the children look even

For my volunteer experience I chose to go to YMCA which stands for Young Men’s Christian Association. Their mission is to make a healthy body, mind and spirit through their Christian principles. Their main focus in on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The reason I chose YMCA is because I try to live a healthy lifestyle and as that is their mission at YMCA it will be interesting to see what I will learn when I volunteer. Before the experience I thought I would volunteer by fundraising for a cause they support or help provide services in the gym. I also thought I might work with customers in the front desk. I was hoping to work with the children in the sports teams to help coach and teach them more about the sport.

It is orientation for millions of high school students across the nation. Students are roaming the halls with their friends talking about schedules, classes, and clubs to join. As they walk through the halls of their high school, they see table after table. Each table represents a different club or organization the school has. The students are bombarded with comments on why they should join this one or that one. There are the community service clubs, the outdoors/sports clubs, and the academic clubs. A majority of the students across the nation will be joining some type of club. The ones that have the most members are the community service clubs. Why are so many high school students volunteering for community service? Is it because they genuinely care about helping others? Or is it that it will help them get into the college of their dreams? For most of the high school population it is the second one. Students join these clubs not because they enjoy helping, but because they will benefit from the volunteering. High school students are selfish and only car about themselves.
