Environmental volunteering

The most significant volunteer contribution to date that I have made was volunteering at the NOW (Newcomer Orientation Week) program. It is a program designed to train individuals as "peer leaders" in their school and the larger community. During the time spam of the training session and the actual program, I was able to meet other individuals from different schools and was able to connect with them. The program really changed my personality and motivated me to come out of my comfort zone, and…

I volunteered at Book Thing, which is a non-profit organization that gives away donated books to the community. I chose Book Thing because I was interested in what the organization does and giving them a lending hand. Before I visited I was apprehensive about going because I didn’t know what to expect. I thought I would physically be handing books out to people, and interacting with people making personal connections. I expected it to be little to no organization, just volunteers willing to lend…

the opportunity arises. By being active in the community, one can learn the importance of love, friendship, and gratefulness. Throughout my life, I have been a part of many organizations that have presented the opportunity to give back. Through volunteering, I have had the chance to impact to countless lives in the community. I believe that not only did I impact those people, but those people sculpted me into who I have become. On one hand, I have had countless opportunities in life to take…

people to don’t have enough? Well if you haven't; you should. The reason that people should volunteer their time is so they can meet new people, help people that have less than they do, and they could give back to the community. First of all, volunteering in your community is a great way to meet new people and make new friends. If you volunteer in some of the places that you are interested in, you are likely to meet people that have the same interest as you. For example, if you volunteer at…

Giving back has always been apart of my life. It will be an honor and a dream to have an opportunity to volunteer in the Peace Corps program before I further embark into the health care field. The techniques and experience that I will acquire from the program will allow me to further develop my critical thinking skills, team building skills and knowledge based skills about my discipline. This opportunity will abundantly shape me into the health care provider I keen to be for my community. Also,…

As a way to do more in the community, I volunteered with Planned Parenthood in their community efforts to engage a wider audience through their voter registration drive. First I contacted Grace Miller, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas’ Austin Community Outreach Specialist, to be a part of their upcoming events. I volunteered to head the Planned Parenthood table for the Foundation Communities Health Fair and 2 Mile Walk event on November 5th. Prior to the community event, I needed to meet…

Society, National Spanish Honor Society, and Key Club. I have also co-founded a Community Outreach Club at high school. Through the Church I’ve assisted with Vacation Bible School and middle school retreats. One of my favorite memories came from volunteering for the first time with National Spanish Honor Society. Choosing to participate in this program was not a difficult decision, since I knew I wanted to continue practicing my Spanish and volunteer in the community at the same time. Little…

career options. I volunteer because I love making connections with other people, and helping others. Volunteering gives me a sense of accomplishment and allows me to know that I have done well for others. This past summer I had the privilege of volunteering at the Virginia Association of Family and Consumer Sciences annual conference, as well as Brookdale Assisted Living in Manassas. Volunteering at these places taught me many important life lessons, allowed me to make connections with other…
