The Reflection before Service Learning Paper In the first class of this semester, I formed a team with four classmates, they are:. We choose the service learning project is a Work in Soup Kitchen. We will serve in st. Leo Soup Kitchen. We are going to help prepare and serve lunch in the Soup Kitchen. This is my first time to do the Service Learning project, it is a new experience for me. In China, I only some of the volunteers participated in the government and the church group activities,…

Service can be seen as a burden, or as an enlightening experience. This year I began to comprehend the impact service can have, if you put your heart into it. This year I learned why service is important, how service can change me, and how God's face can be seen in service. For people who serve it is evident that the more you work God, the more you want to work for God, and the better you feel about it. I attend a massive church, one of the biggest in northern Virginia, McLean…

first I thought that the 60 hours we had to turn in by senior year was just going to be a hassle and it was unnecessary. But the help of my mom I figured out that helping the community is easier than I thought. My idea for my Christian service hours was to join Jack and Jill of America. It is a leadership and community service group for African-American children within the Twin Cities. I joined Jack and Jill my freshman year and it is brought so many new experiences and so many great people into…

Service learning, volunteerism, and community service are similar since they offer help with the needs of the environment to society or communities. While working on those needs, we get to learn and gain not only knowledge, but a formation of moral and civic values. By performing service learning, volunteerism, or a community service, we have the opportunity to interact with people who failed to get a job that month, people who do not have sufficient resources, and with members of communities…

feel good for helping others out. For my service learning, I chose to work with my old elementary school teacher, Ms. Simon, who works in the AAP department. I also happened to meet a new teacher, Ms. Maloney who works with special ed. kids. I helped them get work done around their room. I started out working for Ms. Simon in the beginning of school last year. Last Summer I had visited Franconia, where she works, and she asked if I could do service learning with her and so I did. This…

Community Education has been at the forefront of education in Scotland since the Alexander Report amalgamated youth work, adult learning and community work together back in 1975 to form the community education services seen currently. Back then the Labour Government at the time commissioned the report and it has continued to have a significant impact on community education since then. In this essay I will explore how the different antecendents of community education outlined in Community…

As my community profile, I will be doing an ethnographic study of downtown Cincinnati. The agency that I am doing my internship is at Hamilton County Job and Family Services. The agency is based in the heart of Downtown Cincinnati. I thought this would be a good community to research demographics and compositions because, it’s the neighborhood that the agency workers are in the most. What is a community? A community is an area where a group people lives in the same place. This is could be a…

I have always been a community engaged scholar, maybe not in the actual program, but in the spirt of the program. I have always loved being in the community and learning and helping with what needs to be done. Being part of this program, I believe will help me to be able to find avenues for this passion and give me the resources and ability to do these things in my chosen field. I have had multiple opportunities to be an engaged member of the community, including volunteering and fundraising…

Community service is not as bad as some people make it out to be. I myself had an internal groan when I heard that community service was required and would be set as a grade. I had only known volunteerism as doing a dull boring task with no discernible reward. But after experiencing it for myself I found it quite the contrary. Volunteering is a way to meet new people and witness a group working toward a greater cause. Looking to the future I hope to volunteer at the local library and Humane…
