Recommended: Developmental stages of children

One of the organizations that I volunteered at for the majority amount of time was the Hands of Hope Childcare Center. This organization is nonprofit and Christian based. Majority of the items that have are used at this childcare center has been donated from its local community. The childcare center is available to the Oakland County community. They service children who have been subjected to poverty and abuse. This organization also provide help to their parents by providing shelter.
During my volunteering time at the childcare center I did a lot of hands on care with the children. I was placed in the toddler for majority of my time there. I was able to free play and dance with the children. In addition, I assisted them with their arts and crafts. For example, while I was there I helped the toddler make a paper bag puppet. Due to their developmental level, their ability to focus was limited which, caused me to contribute more to their project then what they did. I helped supervise the children while, they were outside playing. I was responsible for making sure that they were safe and played nicely with each other. Lastly, I help put the toddlers down for sleep during nap time. …show more content…

With one of the toddlers I developed a very strong connection with. She was literally attached to my hip. She wanted me to hold her whenever I was around. When I tried to put her down she would cry for me to pick her up. When I played with other kids she would even, try to push them to the side so I could only play with her. Spending time with her made my volunteering experience very enjoyable. She really made me feel special and I hope I made her feel the same way. I hope that I can continue to develop relationship with my future patients as a nurse, like I did with the children at the childcare

I became involved in organizations such as key club, an organization focused in volunteerism. Additionally, I began to tutor middle school students and volunteering at the local church.

    When I found out that I had to do seven hours of volunteer work I immediately knew that I wanted it to involve children. I attended the volunteer fair that was held earlier in the semester and signed up for programs such as Louie’s Kids and Wings for Kids. Unfortunately I could not volunteer for either of these programs because they were not in walking distance of the college and I did not have transportation. A couple weeks after that I saw a flyer advertising for “Reading Partners.” I attended an informational event that they held and signed up to volunteer at Memminger Elementary, which is about two blocks from the college.

    1. Community service organizations to help build better communities through service, and citizenship.

I have been a member of in NCW for one year. Although, I was not in charge of any particular special community service project, I did participate in several projects in the community outreach fair.

This fair took place at a community center in a low income area of Miami Florida, in Overtown. Back in the late 1940s and early 1950s Overtown was a thriving area where African-Americans owned property, businesses, hotels, restaurants, grocery stores and clothing stores. It was the only place in South Florida where African-Americans could shop, be entertained, and could find hotels/lodging for out-of-town guests in minority friendly hotels.

    From observing this lesson, I have learned a lot. Especially on how the instructor had all 3 skills: reading, speaking and listening into this one lesson. I would incorporate this into my own teaching in not just focusing on one particular skill. Also, as I was observing this lesson, I realized the instructor does not focus on grammar nor academic English, but rather focuses on the real life situation. She connects the activities and her usage of language in what students can use in outside the classroom. And that I would really incorporate during my practicum.

    I volunteered at East Parkside Nursing Home through my church 's mentoring program. At first, I was somewhat uncomfortable volunteering at a nursing home because my great-grandfather, among many others, was mistreated in a nursing home. But, as the day went on and we engaged in activities with the residents, I eventually calmed down and got into the smooth of things. We had one-on-one contact with the seniors, and we learned about their lives and families. One of the seniors was a veteran who fought in the Vietnam War and he told all of the volunteers a few short war stories. For several residents, their families rarely visited them, so they genuinely appreciated the volunteers spending time with them. Later, we made holiday cards and sang Christmas carols for the senior citizens. They seemed so elated and pleased, which made me feel so fulfilled that I could make someone 's day by doing something so
