Volunteer Application

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.

When thinking about what career I wanted to pursue, I knew that I wanted to work with children and be able to make a difference in their lives. Volunteering has been a passion of mine since I was young, and as I have grown up I came to the realization that the opportunities I have enjoyed the most and felt that I made

The first place I volunteered at was Feed My Starving Children. Feed My Starving Children is an organization that makes nutritional meals for malnourished children. The meals are called MannaPacks and they are packed with rice, soy, dried vegetables, and flavoring. Each station has to measure the ingredients into the bags, weight the bag, then seal the bag. My role was sealing the bags and putting them in a box; and I did that for two hours. My volunteering and the volunteering of others really helped out because 27,000 meals were packed in our shift, which feeds 74 kids for a year. The other two hours that I did, I helped the staff clean up and take everything down. I benefited from this experience because I actually felt like I somewhat

First, I have volunteered with Junior Achievement in 2015 and 2016 for a kindergarten class. I had the pleasure of teaching the 5 to 6-year-olds about saving and spending money and the positive effects of giving to others. I also volunteer at a Sunday School for children with disabilities, I have worked with children with Autism, Intellectual Disabilities, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder,

I began playing freshman year, being the leading scorer on all three teams and playing in a handful of varsity games. I then joined club teams and played futures field hockey, which is an Olympic development program for high school students. Being part of this team sparked my interest in the sports world and was one of the main reasons I want to be part of the sports industry when I graduate college. I have learned how to be patient and a leader throughout my four years on the high school team. Although we rarely win any games and many of my teammates don’t take the sport seriously, I give 200% every game. Another sport that will definitely help me was being a competitive figure skater. I skated from a very young age until till high school when I stopped to play team sports. When I used to figure skate I dreamed of making it to the Olympics on a daily basis. As I continued through the sport, I won many competitions both individually and as a team. It taught me how to be patient with myself, to be tough, strong, and determined. These traits from field hockey and figure skating both will help me later in my

I've done a lot of volunteering work at my school working with the teachers’ kids . Looking after them

I think one of my most important volunteer jobs is being classroom assistant. Not necessarily teaching but helping out in the classroom, setting things up for the children and when it’s outdoor playtime being an next set of eyes. Teachers can always use the extra help in the classroom, with so many students around. Next is helping out in the kitchen, helping to serve the food the children, the staff can focus on getting the children where they need to be and preparing the food. The next is people willing to help in the office, this can just be simple filling to helping to make sure that certain items are in stock. Volunteer cleanup is always important, focusing on cleaning up the playground and making sure thing the place is fun and safe for

I have been in multiple leadership positions and enjoy volunteering at different events and organizations. For the last three years, I have volunteered at Camp Hope, Camp Hope is a summer camp where children ranging from five to twelve years of age come and learn about God. I been a support staff and have worked in different groups and rotations. Support staff at responsible for making sure the children stay out of trouble, help injured children, and most importantly make sure the children have an unforgettable

Volunteerism has always been an extensive aspect of my character and pertains to much of what I do within my community. Through actively engaging myself in Calgary, I have come to discover the problems we face and what I can do as an individual to spread smiles. My passion and dedication for igniting positive change around me is what allowed me to participate in volunteer activities all over my city and within my school. Through realizing my potential as a human being to spread positivity in the world, I began volunteering in school clubs and being a central member of peer support and discovered the significance of volunteering and it has inspired me to believe in the power of a helping hand.

I have volunteered and worked with children throughout my highschool career. It started with volunteering for a few weeks at the Vero Beach Museum of Art at their children’s art camps. I enjoyed working with the children and helping them with different art projects. My favorite group was the princess themed class. There was lots of glitter, tiaras and pink. I loved connecting with the children and being a role model to them. I also volunteered at Vero Beach Elementary as a reading mentor for a semester. I was paired up with a young boy who I met with once a week for about an hour and helped him with English and reading. I loved helping him one on one because I feel like it made an impact on him and helped him succeed in school.

I've had several volunteer positions that have taught me a number of skills and exposed me to a variety of new experiences. Throughout high school, I volunteered at the hospital near my house, and while I was there, I held various positions. My first position was as the radiologist's assistant. As her assistant, I did secretarial assignments, like filing papers and escorting patients to the correct locations. My other position at the hospital was working the front desk. There, I delivered newspapers and coffee throughout the hospital, answered the phone, and escorted patients to various locations. Working at my local hospital, I not only learned how a hospital runs on the inside, but I also learned how to communicate more effectively with people that I just met and try and make them feel

I have structured this paper with a timeline of volunteer activities, how they relate to my career, what my goals are, and how I plan to remain involved in my community.

-I would like to try something I have never done before. I think to become a volunteer in SDC would be a very valuable experience.

One of my greatest memories from volunteering was when we went to the Family Outreach Center in Stronghurst. I started by organizing clothes that had been donated to the community center. I then helped men and women of all ages locate what they wanted from the community center, they were incredibly grateful for something as simple as reaching up and getting a shirt they wanted and that kind of kindness is something that I will never forget. We also collected canned foods for the Jamieson Center and then watched the workers prepare some of the meals to be able to get a grasp on how much hard work was put into something as simple as lunch. Once I had experienced the taste of volunteering I couldn’t get enough of

Sometimes a volunteer experience can lead you to something you never even thought about or help you discover a hobby or interest you were unaware of. You can strengthen your personal/professional mission and vision by exploring opportunities and expanding your horizons.
