Why Do I Need To Volunteer
When I first learned that we would need to volunteer, I knew that I wanted to do something with kids, so I volunteered at Sunnyside Elementary the night of conferences. I had heard that they needed volunteers to watch/play with the children so that their parents could talk their child's teacher without commotion. I figured that that would be a good volunteer job for me to do because I love children! For four hours of my night, I got to see children's eyes light up It was a great experience for me because I got to work with kids, some of my friends and I got to see my old elementary

    I am constantly reminding parents when they pick up and/or drop off their children that they are always more than welcome to come in and volunteer. When talking to parents about volunteering I let them know what a great impact it has on their children when they do take the time to come in and volunteer in their child’s classroom. It’s also great for the parents as well; they get the chance to see where their children spend most of their day and see the different activities they do and games they play with the teachers and staff. I think volunteering is a wonderful thing for parents to do, for not only their children, but for themselves and also the…

    Volunteering for service hours changed my outlook on life. I worked with the Hydrocephalus Association in both eleventh and twelfth grade. The Hydrocephalus Association focuses on three things community, clarity, and cure. Hydrocephalus is a condition defined by an abnormal, excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the cavities of the brain. Some people with this condition can live a normal life being unnoticeable while other have difficulties. The association works on awareness to find a cure, clarity in helping families further understand the condition, and a community which will always be supportive. Service hours can sometimes be a hassle but once I started volunteering with that association it became fun because I was…

    Have you had any volunteer experiences and, if so, what did you like about participating? Give at least one example of what you liked. I have volunteered with Canterbury United Methodist Church on a mission trip and the Birmingham Zoo. When I volunteered with Canterbury, we went on a mission trip to Asheville, North Carolina for a week during the summer. I had the opportunity to travel to another city, in a different state, to help those who are less fortunate and live in harsh conditions. Seeing the harsh conditions that some people live in was very eye-opening for me because it really made me realize how fortunate, not only I, but the rest of my community is. I loved helping the people in Asheville because I knew that it is something they…

    Since eighth grade I have volunteered regularly at Prodisee Pantry, a local food bank that gives out boxes of food every week. Prodisee was the first place I volunteered on my venture. Then I started to serve at my old middle school on Tuesdays, usually in the science department where I could offer the most assistance. From there I began leading a small group for middle schoolers at one of my churches on Wednesday nights. However, that was the extent of my service for the first two months of the year, but soon I did something completely new to remind me of the purpose of the 365…

    Volunteering has always been an important aspect of my life. Whether donating food or painting a house, it has allowed me to be extremely grateful and humble for my lifestyle because everybody is not as blessed as I am. Volunteering has taught me that even the smallest gift, such as a smile, can be a great gift to someone because it can show that you care and want to be involved. It has allowed me to develop soft skills, and learn more about myself and my HBCU community. One of my greatest accomplishment in life was that I volunteered 1,000 hours in high school.…

    I volunteer in my community whenever I get the opportunity. For example, I helped students get to school safely and I helped out around the school. I volunteered at the public library to help younger children. I now see it is hard work to get children focused and help them not make a big mess, but I enjoyed helping them in any way I can. Volunteering at the public library also taught me about patience. Not everything went exactly how I planned it out, but at the end it still worked out. My time at the library also taught me about effort.…

    This past summer I was part of the leadership staff at Camp Howard. I was a unit director for the 1st and 2nd graders who came to camp for the day. This unit consisted of 30 campers and 4 counselors whom I was in charge of. I am also the treasurer of the College of Democrats and I volunteer with multiple organizations. For example, I help students and community members register to vote and I work closely with the office of Lane County of Democrats. I volunteer with the National Society of Collegiate Scholars by holding toy drives for homeless shelters. Another service experience I've had is volunteering with the Sparrow Club in my hometown.

    There are many reasons why I chose to volunteer for the VAVS Youth Volunteer Program at West Palm Beach VA Medical Center. A friend of mine has told me lots of positive feedback about the West Palm Beach Medical Center. From the things I’ve been told, I know that this program would be life changing. I have always wanted to volunteer because I love helping and making others happy. I always feel satisfied just being able to help someone, even if it was the smallest job. This gives me an opportunity to learn new things and do different activities. Volunteering makes me feel like I’ve achieved something by helping. Volunteering can teach me skills that I may need in the future, and can allow me to look beyond of what I want to do in the future.…
