Recommended: Importance of project management skills in the corporate world

During the brainstorming process of my Senior Project I was having a challenging time deciding what I wanted to do. My initial thought was that I wanted to improve the environment in some way; however, I could not figure out a project that would be plausible for my limited time frame. No true ideas on this topic formulated in my head and I was at loss for what I wanted to do. I finally decided to call the coordinator of a local river organization—Grand Canyon Youth--to see if help was needed in their pre-season preparation. I have been a volunteer at GCY since I was very young along with being a youth alumni. I generally volunteer at the warehouse every other Wednesday and I decided that, due to my standing investment in helping the organization, …show more content…

Just completing these tasks for the workforce at GCY greatly helped them increase their youth outreach by being able to promote their success through the scrapbooks along with helping them prepare for their summer season through the facelift on the ammo cans. If I were to do this project again I would have attempted to repaint all the ammo cans at GCY. However, there are about twenty on them which would have been unachievable in the time frame I was working within. If I had started earlier in the year I could have achieved this goal. Through helping this amazing organization further their outreach and helping enhance the river experience of thousands of youth I truly feel as though I have made a positive impact in my community. The river can have a very large impact on the lives of youth and I am proud to say that I was able to help provide them with that experience. Both the community of Flagstaff and the local river community are dear to me due to my investment in both. In the future I hope to continue volunteering for GCY to provide as many people as possible with the experience of participating in a river trip. The river has impacted my life by providing me with a sanctuary and a community of like minded people. I only hope that every young adult is able to find the same thing, and for those who find it on the river, I will help open their eyes to this magical

  • Coat Drive Project

    I am a 17 year old senior in high school and was asked to participate in creating and executing a community service project. My first reaction is to talk to my mother, she is very involved in the community and would have some good ideas. The one that stood out to me was doing a coat drive! Last year we did a small one that ended up providing mostly adult women’s coats. This year an organization that I’ve been a part of for four years, HOSA, is doing a coat drive and I’ve asked if I could piggy back on their project. The person in charge of the coat drive is Bailey Clark, she is the current president of HOSA. HOSA is a great organization that prepares high school students for working in the medical community after graduating.

    In the summer of 2015 I attended Camp Four Winds Westward Ho on Orcas Island, Washington. This camp is a non-profit organization that offers two month-long sessions for campers ages 10 to 16 with staff positions starting at age 17. This summer I worked in the barn for one month-long session and 10 days after that. I got up at six-o'clock every morning and I finished my work at the barn at six-o'clock pm. After I usually helped with camp dishes until 9 at night. I felt accomplished in working hard because I felt like I was making a difference to make the camp run smoother. Though after awhile it was challenging to even get up in the morning due to exhaustion, I persevered through it and proved to myself that I have a lot of willpower. I enjoy

    As a species, humanity, henceforth, people, will never go out of business, but as individuals and specified groups, people can and will fail, because people don’t plan to fail, they fail to plan. In the modern society, it has become mandatory that all high school seniors are required to complete and present a “Senior Project,” to show the world that they can be taken seriously. Covering these points will include: what the project is, examples of different advocators of the project, and the different viewpoints of why it is useful verses why it is not.

    For the past three years, my favorite community service has been volunteering at The Great Pumpkin Give-A-Wey, which is a Halloween related event organized by the town of Weymouth. I personally love helping the little kids in the activities and setting up stalls for people and in doing so I get to learn more about all the wonderful resources available in Weymouth and meet new people. I feel like I make a positive impact in the atmosphere of the community, even if it is small. In addition to doing work for the local community, I also want to find ways to help my school. Since sophomore year, I decide to become a laboratory assistant in training (LAT) in place of my free periods. As a LAT, I assist science teachers with setting up labs, cleaning, grading papers, and organizing. A LAT does not get any graduation credits,

    The relationship between young people and nonprofits can be the start of a significant change in our community, and should be a reciprocal and powerful educational experience. An open-minded and encouraging flow of communication between organizations and community members can be the launchpad for the social and environmental change organizations talk about and try for every day. Together, we can make change – not just a semblance of idealism, but reality, as well.

  • My Community Service Taught Me About Leadership

    636 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the past four years of my life, volunteer work has left an indelible mark on my heart and mind. When I became a volunteer, I had a very vague notion of leadership. As my high school days come to an end, I am left with the feeling that I have finally come into my own shoes, discovering the things that are important to me and those that are not. I have found my personal leadership style, and I now pay attention to the leaders I come across each day. For this reason, volunteering has been both an enlightening and inspiring experience, for I am surrounded by peers, mentors, and the volunteer program director, all of whom are leaders with creative visions of their own.

  • What Volunteering Can Teach You

    950 Words  | 2 Pages

    Volunteering enables a person to develop new skills that he or she would otherwise not have been able to develop. Unlike most other organizations, a charitable organization is happy to give positions to passionate, though inexperienced, individuals who desire to help others and benefit the community. Therefore, an individual with little experience in a field of work can gain meaningful skills that he or she can use in the future. For example, while I volunteered at the hospital this summer, I learned about the daily work lives and professional duties of doctors and nurses. Had I not volunteered, I would not have learned about these things. I was always interested in the medical field, but volunteering at the hospital let me explore my interests and en...

    Throughout this term, my fellow classmates and I have had a chance to participate in a group project with two or three of our peers. The general topic was a vivid problem in a industry. Our class had a very wide and diverse sets of topics: from Styrofoam, to industrial hacking, to corruption in an influential international organization like FIFA, and so many more. Our group decided to develop a project named “Outsourcing and the price we pay for brands”. The name itselves is somewhat self-explanatory, however the problem is so much more complicated and interesting. In this paper, many struggles and concerns, of the group and of my my own, will be unfolded as I reflect the progress of this project.
