marketed as the same program, and should not be associated with the same “work”. A volunteer should not be associated with voluntourism as its connotation is that the “tourism” aspect has taken over the “volunteer”.

It was not until another student approached me with an idea, to help the youth at the local Youth Crisis Center. I wanted to create a “bright spot”, and show the children at the Center that they were an important part of the community, and people do care about them. I acknowledged this problem, from a previous volunteer experience. The idea was set in motion, but there are so…

During my two volunteer experiences I participated in for the service learning portion of this class, I had the opportunity to witness many different walks of life. I was taken in on a side of poverty I’ve never before seen, and on a very intimate level. My first volunteer experience this semester was at a local food pantry, the Pratt-Quigley center. The neighborhood around the food pantry seemed very run down and poor. Shortly after arriving there, we were directed to the room where all the…

Volunteer Work I have completed over 120 hours of volunteer work. Volunteering has always been important to me because although you don’t receive monetary compensation you do get a certain satisfaction from helping others and putting them first instead of yourself.
