Recommended: Reflection on volunteering

Community service has taught me all kinds of skills and increased my confidence. You go out there and think on your feet, work with others and create something from nothing that’s what life’s is all about. The community service that I did is YWCA Daycare. I chose that because I like kids also it makes me a responsible person. Like playing with children and making them laugh because I have a little sister whos 4months and I love spending time with her. My expectation before doing the service were that I wasn’t sure where I was going to do them I went to libraries but, they never called me and that got me worried.

It also takes money to hire many people to do work, by me volunteering the community saves money that can be saved to spend on important things like supplies for the daycare and etc. It can also make a difference. This helps us better to understand our own competence. Also, volunteering provides valuable community services to spent the money on local improvements. It helps save resources because now for volunteering it’s $15 dollars per hour. Supports families too. What appears to be an issue in our society is that there’s not enough people to help many kids. So each person could pay attention to the kids cause one person can’t take many kids to the bathroom and since there small I’m guessing there going to need help so I recommend to be more people. In this way, they can pay attention on some kids and the other person with the others like team work I’ve experienced it it’s not easy. The only reason I believe this has been an issue in our society because there’s not enough money to pay for a lot of people who are helping out. I know that the government helps but what about other

    As a young 21-year-old woman I am determined to make a difference in this world that will aid in my generation, and those that follow. Within the past two years I have had an increasing interest in gardening and environmental stewardship. During the summer of 2016, I volunteered on an organic farm where I learned how to properly work with real and nutritious food. Here I was able to progress my understandings in how to efficiently use farmland, rotate crops, harvest properly, and manage weeds organically. All of this work was then returned by the earth through an abundance of fruits and vegetables that I, and the other members on the farm, ate everyday to sustain our bodies.

This organization also relies on volunteers to work every day, they get workers from students fulfilling their hours and resume, individuals fulfilling court orders, and those that just want to help the less fortunate.
