Service to your community has many benefits for you and others too. It makes you sympathize more for others and shows that you can put others before yourself. Therefore giving back to your community is essential to being a good community member and a commendable person in general.…
I have always cherished the value of service and its effects on communities. A school class that I take that promotes service is Student Senate. A requirement for that class is ten hours of community service per trimester, and I have been a part of this group since sophomore year. This class is all about improving our school and creating an enjoyable environment for our students to be in. An example of this would be when I helped decorate the halls during themed weeks such as Spirit Week and Winterfest along with my fellow classmates.…
Community service is vital to the life and survival of all communities. It is the role of all citizens to stand up and to be active members of their communities whether it be through activities, such as volunteering at retirement homes, schools, or local churches. Through my continued efforts to serve my community in college, I hope that I am able to benefit my community. Whether it be those who utilize the public library or little kids in grade school that need assistance with their homework, I will surely be able to serve…
At the start of high school, I learned that all students at my school were expected to perform sixty hours of community service before graduating. I hoped that my time would be well used, and that I could create a noticeable difference in someone else's life.…
Ms. Placencia stated, “There are diverse people in the different classes of the world, along with those stuck in poverty, and when we serve, we understand that we are all the same... some of us are just more beneficial than others.” Community Service forces you to understand the stories of others and break down the borders to be able to work together and build volunteer…
Serving the community is a very important thing to me, not just within the school community, but also into the Kenyan community. Beginning from my childhood, anytime I would go upcountry, I would always carry a bag of sweets to give to the impoverished children I would find, or carry my keyboard along with me to play the children songs in Church. I believe that I have nurtured these simple acts of service into my spending of several weeks this past few summers volunteering at the Nest, which is an orphanage for young children. Growing up, my parents have taught me the value of giving, that because I am privileged, I should always give back to society. My times at the Nest continue to teach me how reaching out to others although it might be hard to relate, is so rewarding.…
Overall, community service is paying back to people and animals that are in need. That is why it is necessary for the people that are able to participate do. Not only should people do it because they have to, they should want to. I have learned this personally through my community service experiences. By participating in community service it has allowed me to change as a person and look at life differently. In the beginning I was not enthusiastic about volunteering, but afterwards it made me feel good about myself. There are many benefits of volunteering like, doing helpful things of your interest, interacting with family and friends, and receiving more knowledge about things you didn’t know. There are many aspects of community service that are not blatantly shown.…
Have High School students really been devoting enough hard work in the years they’ve been in school or should they require even more work to accomplish in order to graduate? In the article “Volunteering to Graduate: Do We Need More Requirements?” By Miriam Dodge, she talks about how volunteering hours is being required in some high schools in order to complete your high school requirements, but might be a requirement that shouldn’t be enforced. High school students should not have to deal with volunteering hours as a requirement for graduation because it is not a main focus for every student and can might cause graduation an impossible thing.…
Youth Volunteer Corps of Greater Kansas City has impacted my life the most. It has sparked my passion for giving back to the community and has influenced me to continue volunteering when I go to college.…
I am spending my time volunteering at St. Marks United Methodist Church (St. Marks UMC). This church is an open community, working to create a comfortable atmosphere for anyone and everyone in and around the area. I work specifically with the youth of the church and I reach out to students who are my age or younger than me. I have been volunteering at St. Marks for almost four years, assisting in many different groups and organizations sponsored by our church. I volunteer at this church because it has given me an opportunity to be myself, explore talents, and make strong connections, and I want to help continue this effort and reach out to kids who are struggling with a lot of the same difficulties I faced. I believe that volunteering here is a great experience for someone studying psychology because you meet and get to know many kids who are facing various issues in their lives.…
Community service means much more to me than completing hours for a class or for a more appealing résumé. It builds character, leadership, and integrity. It transforms regular humans in to leaders and more passionate citizens. Community service also stands as a foundation builder to become a more…
Think back to when you were a kid and you waited anxiously for the whole school year to be over with so you could do that one special thing. For my friends and I it was going to the big, red bricked church down the road and getting free sack lunches. The older I got the roles had been switched, from receiving the lunches, to providing the lunches for the anxiously waiting kids. Community service changes the life of you, and also the lives of others.…
Serving my community is a huge part of who I am as a person. I love to give back to my community and help people around the world. I am involved in various service activities that impact my local and global community. Church and my youth group are a huge part of my life. They teach me how I should act towards others and, most importantly, teach me how to give back. I participate in several service activities throughout the year. The most meaningful ones to me include raising money for hungry children through World Vision, going on mission trips around the country to help people who are less fortunate, and being a PEER buddy in my own community.…

It is important in the Police Service to have volunteers due to the cuts happening in the service. As the table below shows between 2011 and 2015 over 213 officers have been made redundant.…
I hope you enjoying your weekend. I just submitted my volunteer day assignment in the dropbox. Let me know if there are any questions I need to address. I also realized four days ago that my ECT assignment was sitting in the dropbox, I thought I had turned it in long time ago not knowing I did not click the final submit button after is was reviewed by turnitin.com. I emailed Prof Larson about the situation as soon as I saw that, but no response yet. Thank you, enjoy the rest of your…
