Volunteering at a children’s crisis treatment facility, volunteering with Special Olympics, coaching children’s sports teams for 10 years and working as a substitute education assistant has increased my understanding of childhood development. Grandmound Elementary School provides me with opportunities to strengthen my leadership and collaboration skills, through teaching art (as a volunteer) to the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade and serving as PTA president. I was able to implement many enriching opportunities for students in areas of art, science, and reading. I learned to work as a team, set targets, achieve goals, give and receive guidance. Participating in these activities has confirmed that working with families and particularly children are my purpose.
As part of the UCF Lead slogan, “to serve” the important part of leadership is to serve others. As part of my service hours, I decided to work in Youth Advocacy and Children Services, environmental issues, and homelessness and hunger. In most of these situations, I was a servant leader as “a leader” or I worked with “an organization that seeks to first to serve others” (Kline 99). All of these causes are meant to benefit others, as is the definition of volunteering. By volunteering I am able to grow as a servant leader by performing servant- leader tasks and work with organizations that are servant- leader driven. With my service hours I was able to work in areas and get involved in projects that I haven’t had much experience in before. These hours gave me the opportunity to meet people that I wouldn’t have met before and work with some great organizations that I was unaware of before.
