Community Transit

The neighborhood you live in during your prime development stages is crucial to the type of person you will become in the future. The impact is so great that it has created stereotypes and social innuendos for the people that live in these communities. My philosophy about these two neighborhoods as well as any is that they are very much similar in the fact that they both raise up children with different values and mindsets. However, despite what most people think, this is actually a beneficial…

participate in volunteer programs in their communities as a requirement for graduation. There are many different types of volunteer work that students would be interested in. Some types are helping sick people, picking up trash, and helping younger children. Students should be required to volunteer to graduate because it would help the students be a better person along the way, it would also be a good way for students to make friends, and it could help the community. If students were required…

Butler County, like most sparsely populated counties in the South, has its small towns and villages where everyone knows everyone else, and the town of Ridgeville is not any different; we rarely see anyone we don‘t already know. So you can imagine my surprise at literally bumping into a complete stranger as my cousin Jenny and I walked past the new variety store, on our way to the mercantile. When he said excuse me, ma’am and I turned to look at him, I was rendered speechless, whereas moments…

Service can be defined in many ways and by many actions; personally, I view service as helping or doing work for someone, especially work that one may not be used to doing in everyday life. Volunteer work is truly my idea of service, mainly because of the fact that no charge is incorporated into the work, keeping it centered with good intentions and pure motives. I applied this exact attitude towards my work for UIndy’s Super Saturday of Service, specifically when I was sent to South Circle Farm…

educating the community. I’ve spent over 2,000 hours of community service helping schools and non-profits. Through this experience, I’ve become familiar with advocating for service projects and educating my peers on amazing opportunities. Through AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC), I was a recruiter.

That unfortunately was not going to be possible because of scheduling issues. I was still hoping to be able to volunteer with kids, preferably of younger ages. I wanted to work with kids…

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…

Services. When I first got this essay/assignment I had no clue what “services” really meant. So before doing anything else I looked up what “service” meant. On Dictionary.com the number one definition of it is: An act of helpful activity; help or aid. I was still at a loss for words for the essay. So next I searched ‘a service needed for children under 5’ online. Which took me to citizensadvice.com.uk and in the article I read something popped out at me, “The local authority can provide a range…
