My first time doing community service for Academic Service Learning took place on University Service Day. For this day, there were multiple organizations that I could choose to serve. I chose the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Queens. When I first arrived at the club, I was saddened by the condition of the building, the theatre was old and cracking in some areas and the carpet had various stains within it. However, the basketball court was in decent condition. I began to think about the lack of…

As members of our high school’s Key Club, a community service international group, we pride ourselves in community service and our ability to enjoy the service projects we commit ourselves to. The benefits we reap from taking a part in community service goes beyond the mere hours for a sheet; we gain the morale and communication skills that the “real world” expects us to live up to. However, making community service a graduation requirement would make students dread the act, viewing service more…

I do not believe that all United Sates citizens should be required to to preform at least one year of community service by the time they are thirty years of age. Forcing someone to help when they aren't willing can do more damage than good. If the person does not want to help they shoulfnt be forced to do so. Volunterring comes from the heart of the person, if their heart is not it, it will not be benificial to the people receiving the help. Most people tend to volunteer at churches,…

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…

Lachelle did not respond, I told Ryan (Scheduler) to put the appointment on the schedule for 1:00pm and he said yes and he said he would and did. I arrived back…

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. As a recruiter, I had the opportunity to visit several high schools and colleges around the country advocating for the program, and all the good it does for the community. I…

I wasn't sure at all of what I wanted to do for my senior project at the beginning of the school year but I knew i had to figure it out quick. The only thing i knew is that i wanted it to involve kids. At first I was hoping to volunteer with special needs kids at the Swindells Resource Center through providence. 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…
