experiences with these programs would allow me to help The Center for Public Service with its mission to restore New Orleans. Certainly, attending Tulane will be immeasurably helpful to me. But I believe that in return, I will be an asset to Tulane’s community and its surrounding city through my leadership and service experiences. I am strongly drawn to the special culture and character of New Orleans. I plan to volunteer much of my time in college to help make the city even better. Evidently,…

Reflection Worksheet Introduction The Palmerston North Women’s Health Collective (PNWHC) has been part of the community since 1984 and providing the women of the Manawatu region with information and support on a wide range of health and well-being issues. The PNWHC offers free services such as pregnancy tests and cervical screening, and low cost services including counselling and natural therapies (The Palmerston North Women’s Health Collective [the PNWHC], 2014).

5.1 Conclusions The study aim was to assess community perceptions regarding heritages well as the attached values; furthermore, documentation was done to show the ambition of every culture to transmit tradition in a landscape.

Community leaders should also be aware of the barriers that prevent youth involvement, and develop strategies to avoid or effectively handle these obstacles – should they present. Researchers have found that there are three major barriers that affect youth participation. The first barrier is manipulation – youth do not want to feel like the adult leaders are attempting to manipulate them by educating them on community development, rather than engaging them in the process. Secondly, youth do…

could have done something more about Networking with other social and community services in the community I appreciate that the PNWHC gave me a lot of learning opportunities during my placement. I enjoyed attending monthly members meetings hosted by Community Service Council (CSC), and Manawatu Abuse Intervention Network (MAIN) because I was able to meet social workers and key workers from a wide range of social and community service agencies in Palmerston North. Listening to these workers’…

• SUMMARIZE/SYNTHESIZE One of the important learnings for me from this course has been to question my role in service learning and at the place where I volunteer. The first few themes for this quarter talked about the motivations for service and self-awareness of our social location. Especially, the reading by Johnson, motivates me to think about the privileges and power that I have over the other people, and how I could use that privilege to help people. I would say, before these readings, I…

semesters of Leadership Byrnes, I have done quite a lot of community service. From volunteering at Ashlan Village, The Carpenter’s Table, Middle Tyger, Duncan Elementary, Reidville Elementary, and many others, I’ve learned a lot and I’ve seen a lot. The feeling you get after doing any type of community service is something you can explain, but you cannot truly understand how it makes you feel until you have done it. I believe the most meaningful community service that I have done, would be…

volunteer. There are a lot of things you can do to help your community. “ Last week millions of Americans worked at soup kitchens, shelters, playgrounds, museums, prisons and schools.” (Saftner,98). This is just a small list of ideas there are for volunteering. You don’t have to be a certain age to volunteer, it actually makes young kids look very good. In an article titled “Feeding Frenzy” by Carlin and Sider a boy David Levitt makes a whole community food bank at only eleven years old! There…
