I have been volunteering in the New Albany community since 2012. I started by helping out at the local church, Five14. At Five14 I watch the kids while their parents go to the service. While watching the kids I am responsible for the task of teaching these children about God and Jesus. This a a positive and productive activity because I am able to work hand in hand with these young children and I get to see how I can help change their life with the help of God. Ever since I have started helping at the church I have seen lives being changed every week because the kids are now trying to use God in their lives everyday. This then contributes back to the community because when the kids start to change and act in better behaviors at a younger age it helps them to not grow into bad habits and bad choices later in life. …show more content…
Some of the things that I am tasked with include helping make decisions on the plays/musicals, making plans for the members to get together and make new relationships, and overall watch over and change the Drama Department in any way needed. A task that I had been recently assigned was to try and get the Drama Department varsity letters. About a month ago I was successful in that task. It took about six months to get them but when we were awarded with the letters the Drama Department was changed. This was a major award because now, because of the planning and pushing that I had put into this project, the Drama Department can give out varsity letters every year to students who have met the requirements. This project has impacted and changed the community because now there is a bigger support for the arts throughout the community and, like said before, students now have the access to earn a letter later in their high school
I have many experiences with community service since I am very passionate about helping people and the less unfortunate. I have volunteered in many activities to help my community, for example, Eagle Scream Fest, Dia del Nino, Closet to Closet, Multicultural night and the best one Food for Families. Food for Families is a non-profit organization that distributes free food twice a month. I have been involved with this organization since the beginning which has been two years. I love volunteering with the organization because I am able to see the difference that is making to
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.
I am currently volunteering at Atlantic Care Hospital, I have learned a lot ever since I began volunteering from November. During volunteering I meet different people, I talk to them and have learned new things from them. I stay after school very thursday and help tutor for math. I think that I have take a step forward and help others in any way I can . I consider volunteering as gaining experience, learning new things and most importantly helping the
I began volunteering at a non-profit organization in Burbank, Burbank Temporary Aid Center (BTAC). This organization focuses on assisting homeless and low-income individuals and families. They provide various services:
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
I currently do not volunteer at a particular place regularly, but volunteer at various places as much as I can and have accumulated over 250 hours while in high school. By volunteering, students get an opportunity to serve the community and provide help to those who need it, yet not expecting anything in return. For me, I have learned the value of hard work, especially when it makes other peoples’ lives better while volunteering.
Since I was five years old I would always give my community a help hand, whether in beautifying my community by planting flowers, or by volunteering at local places. From the ages from five to ten my after school program would go around the neighborhood to plant flowers. In my town library I donated my time to help the children with hands-on activities to promote original ideas such as creating objects with everyday items. I have also volunteered a total of 36 hours for the American Cancer Society.
I am a member of National Honor Society. We volunteer and help people in anyway we can. So far I have about 20 hrs of community service. I helped my teacher moved everything in his class during the summer. I helped an old woman raked leaves in her backyard. I volunteered to assist my high school's registration. I lend a hand to elementary school children and basically played and watched them. I assisted a youth wrestling tournament. There are many more services in which I hoped to help out.
I have participated in many activities that served to help others such as, taking my time to help at the Adult’s Day Care, help with anything that is needed at the nursing home, and on the weekends I would volunteer at the Youth Basketball Summer League by working at the concession stand, collecting ticket money, work for the scoreboard, and coach for my team. I also believe it is better to give than to receive. I donate money and toys to the St. Jude Children Research Hospital as well as giving to the Wounded Warriors. In addition to giving to the Wounded Warriors, my father and I participated in the cook off in honor of the warriors that have fought for our
Additionally, every Monday, I volunteer at the Dublin Food Pantry and assist people with their groceries, and every Thursday, I volunteer at Glenwood Alzheimer's Care Center and assist with the residents by talking to them and playing games with them. Volunteering makes me a happier individual as I get to see the positive impact on
When I go to Bible Study, I help out the little kids there and help them study. I also help around the school. For example, on the day of the Valentine's Dance, I stayed with my cousin and helped clean up after the dance even though I wasn't an NJHS member. I volunteered without hesitation. Also, the day of school orientation I helped my cousin (who is in the NJHS)give people their schedules. Sometimes when I finish all of my work early, I help the teachers. I ask them if they need help. I also help the custodians. I clean under the tables, so the custodian doesn't have to do it. That's basically what I do to help around the
In some way I have contributed to the community. I have been working for program Kings County Youth Services. I have worked in school as a janitor, At the Avenal Infant Center helping the teacher to take care of the children and organized the classroom.

Being in this club I learn how to work in group, Even though if you do not like some classmates you still have to work because is for a good cause that will benefit all of
Since the summer of eighth grade I have volunteered at Essentia Health Hospital making tie blankets for inpatients. These patients are able to take the blankets home with them when they are well enough to leave the hospital. Moreover, I volunteer at my local church for a once-a-month food share. I help unload the food from the truck, sort out the rotten produce, and distribute the food among the shareholders. Additionally, I clean up highways and trails as a part of Green Club ,and I partake in numerous other volunteer opportunities within my school
I volunteer for many organizations because I am currently in clubs such as HOSA and Key Club. For HOSA, we volunteered at God's Storehouse. God's Storehouse is a small, local community center that helps citizens in the local community to gather the necessities they need. They take donations for clothes, food, and even toys. Us HOSA members went around Thanksgiving. We helped with hanging and organizing clothes and rearranging toys and placing them in the proper places. What I really enjoyed the most about this experience is seeing the wonderful smiles on the faces of the people in need. I was very blessed to have the luxuries in my life. It feels even better to give a person in need happiness. I would love to volunteer for God's Storehouse
People often ask me, “Why do you it?”, they have seen me work hard being involved in the community and they just wonder. A famous quote from Mother Teresa always comes to mind when that question is asked, “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create ripples.” Over the years, I have exemplified this quote through volunteering for numerous charities, such as Homeless Coalition, Big Heart Brigade and the Salvation Army. I have been a dedicated volunteer of The Salvation Amry for over 6 years. I have led their Back-To-School Bash event that focused on providing children schools supplies before school opens and worked as the assistant director of their summer music camp, where underprivilege children were
