Volunteering Experience Essay

National Junior Honor Society is a great opportunity for me, and is an organization that I really hope to be in.

I love helping the needy and have participated in countless activities. For example, I was a part of a group that put together care kits for the homeless, picked up trash at a park, and created blankets for the needy. Being in NJHS will give me a…

From a little girl, until now, I have always been raised on the principle of giving back to your community . For over seven years I have been an active volunteer at the Inidantown Food Pantry. Though it seems like a minute role, it is a very impactful one. Indiantown is a small cited triangulated between Okeechobee, Stuart, and Palm Beach that, by statistics of the 2016 Census, houses just a little over 6,000 people. Within that number, there is an estimated twenty-five percent poverty rate,…

How to Establish a Voluntary Group Volunteering is a one way to assist our community. Voluntary group usually aims to help other groups of people such as to help poor kids in their education, to raise awareness campaigns for the community, and to assist the workers in the elderly care center.

However, establishing a new voluntary group is a…

Participating in community services has become a big part of the world we know today. The service can be as small as picking up garbage along the side of the road, or as big as traveling to different countries to help with natural disasters. All those things have something in common; doing something to change the world for free. I got the opportunity to interview someone who has changed the world for people who thought there was nothing good that could come from the world when everything they…

I used to be a member of the National Honor Society in J.W. Sexton High School. We met twice a month to discuss about volunteering opportunities such as volunteering in the 40/8 veterans organization, which I helped out from time to time. In the 40/8 veterans organization, the people who work there make food for veterans to eat. I help out by washing the dishes. I also help out my church by assisting and participating in holiday plays, arranging food to be served every other Sunday, and…

According to an article in Psychology Today (2014), there are a number of advantages to participating in charity organizations. Volunteers tend to be healthier, happier, live longer, and have a better outlook on life than non-volunteers. The challenge for any nonprofit organization is to create an atmosphere that harnesses the resourcefulness of people who are willing to buy into its social purpose, while maintaining financial integrity. With this in mind, chief officials have to ensure that the…

I belong to a community based on hard work and kindness. At the end of my freshmen year of high school, I began volunteering at Habitat for Humanity. The staff greeted me with warmth and made me feel like a true member of the team. They immediately assigned me several tasks, which included sorting nails and sweeping. I gradually came to really enjoy my time as a volunteer, and eventually grew to love it. I did not have a problem cleaning toilets or using all my energy to remove a single stain.…

and since Bessie Weller was the mandatory location from last year I knew many people would chose to do that location. That is why I chose to do New Directions I figured it would be a location that would not have a lot of Ida B Wells’s students volunteering. Once I decided what location I wanted to volunteer for I contacted MS Brochette, however I struggled getting in contact with her for a while. Yet when she did call me back I remember her saying the only thing she could hear was my name was…
