Volunteering Day Event Analysis

The Easter egg hunt was designed for children in the church community. Another event I volunteered in was making prayer blankets for the homeless. A prayer blanket is two pieces of fabric connected by knots, and with every knot tied, a prayer is said for the person the blanket is going to. I also participated in volunteering for the vet. Similarly, my family was a member of the Missouri House Rabbit Society and fostered a total of eight bunnies. We eventually adopted two bunnies named Shannon and Clover. I love to make a difference in my community, even if it was a small deed.

My fourth grade class has participated in a service-learning project for the past eight years. Before the Christmas season, we read several books about giving, including a children’s version of “The Gift of the Magi”. Then we discuss how the money that parents send for the students’ Christmas five dollar gift exchange could be used for something else. The children vote whether or not they want to keep the normal gift exchange or donate the money to another cause (every year the students have chosen to donate their gift money to others). Then the students brainstorm organizations or ideas for the money. After the list is narrowed down to five ideas, the children are broken into groups and given one of the organizations to research, and then they write a persuasive report to present to the class. After the students have heard the persuasive reports, a final vote is taken to choose the organization. Next, the students are responsible for writing a letter home to their parents explaining why they have chosen to donate their gift exchange money to the charity or organization. We have sent care packages to overseas soldiers, bought goodie bags for nursing home patients, and sent money to Heifer

To volunteer at special events such as Health and Wellness fairs, festivals, parades and fundraisers:

Donations to illnesses: we can set up a charity inside the school or perhaps fieldtrips could be helping the homeless.

During my first year at UCLA, I had the opportunity to volunteer with the Black Pre-Health Organization on campus to put together an annual youth festival for children living in underserved communities within the greater LA area. Our goal during the festival was to promote healthy lifestyles by teaching the kids, through interactive workshops and activities, the importance of good nutrition and fitness. As a volunteer, I was able to interact with the kids and create a great bond with many of them while providing tips on how they could turn an unhealthy everyday snack into a wholesome, beneficial one. During the festival, we provided the youth with snacks, various health resources and free hygiene products so that they could begin their new

I later realized that I should try to get some of my friends and classmates involved too. l started out my junior year. One thing our teacher tried to teach us was the acts of random kindness. After practicing random acts of kindness throughout the school, I mentioned the idea of volunteering a couple of hours with the Angel Tree. I also encouraged our school’s Student Council to help. The club adopted two angels. By doing so, this gave the students the desire to want to volunteer again the following year. This year, we had Beta club, student council and two dual credit classes, a total of 40-50 students, volunteer at the warehouse for 2 days. Some even came back during Christmas Break and volunteered at the Distribution Day. Not only is it important to lead and serve others, but one should also encourage those around him or her to serve others as

Volunteering has provided our community with new and refreshing ideas of how we can improve our small town and world. New ideas from community leaders and community organizations have led to a household supply drive being hosted at

I would love to participate in Lakeland Regional Health's Teen Volunteer Summer Program because I want the opportunity to learn more about my future career. By doing the Teen Volunteer Summer Program, I will be able to understand just how much my future Career encompass and get a heads up on what to expect. By volunteering in the summer program, I would also be gaining the amount of hours that I need to graduate high school with honors on my diploma. I hope that I am able to volunteer in this summer program to put all that I have learned in health class to good use.

The first volunteer trip to the senior center started out as a cosmetology project and with a lack of students in the course, i opened it up to any student in the school. With the max total of 16 girls, we arrived at the senior center and held a mini spa day for the residents. Myself and

Our advisory was invited again to volunteer at YMCA since we did such a successful and fun job last time for the Healthy Kids Day event in April. For this community service, we helped set up a talent show they were hosting. This show was where kids had been preparing for weeks to this day. The kids got to sing, dance, and just mess around. While the kids were partying, the volunteers were at stations where the kids could create things. One station was for crafting with pencils, one was for creating grape caterpillars, and the last one was for serving people popcorn and drinks which was the one I worked at. The kids were very hungry because four pounds of popcorn was all gone before the show started. Four pounds is a lot especially since popcorn

Our freshman seminar class volunteered and helped fundraise for JDFR which helps fund and research Type 1 Diabetes. Some of us did the walk, and others helped by fundraising at a table. Personally, I sat at the table for three hours and fundraised. Overall, I thought that this was a nice and enjoyable experience.

Last year in high school, I was very active in my school's FFA and NHS chapter. In my chapters, I put together multiple service projects such as canned food drives, clean up after the town's annual rodeo, events to teach the public about agriculture, tutoring sessions, bake sales, and many other events throughtout the year.

Being new to Iowa just three years ago, volunteering in community events was a great way for me to build relationships and get my name out in the community. My sophomore and junior year at William Penn, I participated in Education Club, which opened the door to many great volunteer opportunities. I believe these experiences really helped me build strong relationships with people in the community. These volunteer opportunities also got my name out there in the community, which will help me when I build relationships with my students’ parents.

Day Of Service and this meant going from street to street in our neighborhood and cleaning the environment in the area and making it a safer surrounding for others, and other similar community events like other clean ups which were held every fall and spring time in

After becoming a member of the National Society for Leadership and Success, I participated in countless hours of volunteer work for my community. One particular event that I always attend is the Raid for Kids. This event is a community Halloween event that provides children with a safer alternative to trick or treating. The event occurs on the University campus during day light hours and is supervised by volunteers and organizers. Later on I joined Habitat for Humanity in Albany, Georgia. Last year we participated in neighborhood clean-up projects. Recently Albany, Georgia had a destructive tornado that wrecked havoc on the city. So after the storm we came together to offer our help to people who were less fortunate than we were. This service
