I raised money for scholarships to camp; helping hundreds of kids come to camp that would be unable to afford it otherwise. Development of a diverse staff was important to me. So I recruited, interviewed and hired central city staff to be part of camp. This involved going to their neighborhood for interviews because they had no means of getting to camp.

While volunteering at Discovery Challenger I have exclusively worked with a blind man named Geno. My service to the Discovery Challenger Program has positively affected the community in that the athletes that required a helper were able to have me as one despite the limited number of volunteers who helped the athletes. Another community service I committed myself to while in high school was the club Life is Delicious. Life is Delicious is a club that between two and three times Year members of the club cook a warm meal at the high school, and then some go to the St. Vincent DePaul Homeless Shelter in Waterbury. At the end of my sophomore year I was named Co-President of the club. As a member of the club I went to all of the cooking and serving activities and was able to help the homeless of Waterbury by giving them a warm meal. The most impactful service I performed in my opinion was during my junior year when I was the organizer for the Penguin Plunge. During my junior year I thought that it would be a good idea for the basketball team to do the Penguin Plunge in order to raise money for Special Olympics Connecticut as I had done so in the previous two years. So, I approached the athletic director

I remember my company had various volunteering activities for employees to volunteer there assistance in areas such as, the Meals on Wheels program or, helping at the local children’s hospital. I decided to volunteer my time and assistance at the “Meals on Wheels” program. “Meals on Wheels Association of American’ mission is to support senior with

I have participated in the program Lunch Is Served, held at the First United Methodist Church in Sioux Falls. The goal of this program is to gather volunteers to pack lunches to aid the working poor, ultimately fixing the major hunger problem in Sioux Falls. I have attended this volunteer opportunity five times, and plan to volunteer again in the future. Essentially, those who participate pack as many brown paper bag lunches as possible in a streamlined fashion. Included in the bag is usually various nutritious snacks and a wrapped sandwich that will be given to those in need. My experiences there was very humbling, due to the fact that it made me realize the impact one person can have on the community. All it takes is a half hour of

My participant observation research project is on sex offenders. A few topics I would be interested in is different type of offenders, such as pedophilic and non-pedophilic. I know sex offending is horrible all together but I really hate when I hear about children and teens being hurt. My questions would be what causes their urge to offend children? How do they know the victim? How to help the offender?

My first, 3 hour, volunteer session was this past Saturday morning at the food bank warehouse. I worked alongside a team of 9 people with Ben, our lead supervisor, and Fran Tally, the organization’s volunteer coordinator. Our shift assignment was to unpack large boxes of mingled frozen meats and pack the contents into separate 40 pound boxes. These individually packed boxes were required to contain beef, poultry, or pork.

I had the opportunity to complete my service-learning hours with the North Carolina Special Olympics and the Golden Living Center. The North Carolina Special Olympics provides youth and young adults with disabilities the opportunity to train and play in sporting tournaments. Without fundraising events, the North Carolina Special Olympics would not be able to provide free the athletes with equipment, uniforms, training facilities, housing, and meals. It also spreads awareness of this incredible non-profit. I completed 12 service learning hours volunteering at two Special Olympics fundraising events: softball tournament and motorcycle run. At the softball tournament I participated in various activities throughout the day such as registering the

On 05/29/17, I was dispatched to 3434 W. Chestnut Expressway in reference to a forgery.

While working at inbound end of line, I/A Boateng did not display any suspicious behavior, but he may have stolen an energy drink from the bistro in the b-building. While reviewing camera B-building.breakroom.2 at 10:35:02 AM, I/A Boateng appears to grab a sandwich from the bistro. Then, he goes to the kiosk, scans the item, cancels the order, and put the sandwich back. After at 10:35:47 AM, he goes back to one of the beverage cooler and grabs an energy drink. At this time, he stood at the kiosk for about 2 mins, then walked over to what appeared to be his bag, grabs something out of the bag, and proceeds to attempt to check his item out. Unfortunately, using camera B-building.Breakroom.3 at 10:37:57 AM, I was not able to see if he

The service I voluntarily participated in was helping victims of hurricane Irma clean up debris and cut down trees in Key West, Florida. We were divided up into three large groups. A local church (St. Peter Catholic Church), a water revised (John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park), and a museum (Crane Point Museum & Nature Center) were the three destinations for our cleanup crews. The team I was placed in went to help the St. Peter Catholic church. This multicultural church is ran by an Haitian American Priest that has been a pastor for twenty-five years of his life. During the service we cut down trees, stacked and removed debris. After about an hour and thirty minutes of this labor we helped replenish the handmade tomatoes garden built

I volunteered at the Lions Park Senior Center as one of the tasks from my social work class. I was assigned duties at the gymnasium, that is where I have experienced most of the volunteer time. Supervising the posture to use certain machines, instructing new members on the use of the machines and looking up for the safety of the seniors at the gymnasium has been my routine. I helped filling groceries bags that were distributed to members of the center. As a volunteer, I assisted in arranging rooms for classes, meetings, and different activities like a health’s fair. I also contributed arranging and inventorying the puzzles in the library. There was also a free haircut day, where I assigned the sequence numbers to organized individuals

I had been doing some research on different volunteer opportunities Southern Illinois University Edwardsville took a part in, and I found the Kimmel Student Involvement Center’s website. There are many different volunteer opportunities available through outreaches called Service Saturdays. Some of the options are the Metro East Humane Society, St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store provides clothing, household goods, and necessities to the Illinois metro-east area. St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store, and Willoughby Farm. I was not in the mood for cleaning up after animals, I already work in a thrift/consignment shoppe, and I am not handy with farm equipment. I do enjoy spending time with elderly people though, so I chose to go to Lutheran Senior Services.

In walking through Produce, I saw fresh products with that just came in from the farm look. Hot Bar/Deli department was staffed with several employees to take care of customers. Theresa greeted me with a smile and asked could she help me? Her attention was all on me because I could see it in her eyes. Going straight to the task at hand, she responded, per my instructions, to my desire. I thanked her and with that sweet smile of hers, Theresa wished me a good day. All the Deli/Hot Bar items were fresh in appearance. Bakery products looked delicious. The employee there greeted me saying can I help you with a smile. Men’s restroom was clean and stocked with supplies for customer’s needs. The Meat department’s products were red with freshness.
