Recommended: Essays about the benefits of volunteering

“Why do you want to volunteer at the Daly City Public Library?” asked the authoritative figure sitting in front of me, earnestly awaiting for my answer. Because I had calculated the answer to this question for days before my interview, my response came out naturally and went something along the lines of: “Helping others has always been a main priority and passion of mine. I want to volunteer here at the library because I want to give back to my community and help those around me,” I replied, ending my remark with a bright smile. A few days after the interview I received an email congratulating me for becoming a volunteer at the library. This was a monumental milestone to me as this was the first time I had ever gone after something that interested

    As a non-academic pursuit, I have volunteered at a Vera Davis community family source center for nearly four years. Volunteering at this facility has helped me develop critical thinking skills, as well as social and professional skills.

For example, free food giveaway, distribution of bus tokens, computer services, taxes, and tutoring for children K-12. Throughout my experience at Vera Davis I learned uncountable values and boundaries that transforms socialization to a different level.

  • Reflection Of Volunteering At The Royal Springs Rehabilitation Center

    1147 Words  | 3 Pages

    I have started to volunteer from the last week of June 2016 at the Royal Springs Rehabilitation center, in Las Vegas. This facility has 350 beds, occupied mainly by many disabled residents. The volunteering at the activity department of this center provided me with an opportunity to serve the residents as well as the employees of this facility. Volunteering helps connect with people, promotes the personal growth and efficiency, and also helps build the community (The University California, San Diego, 2015). It resembles the servant leadership style in that, both functions to serve the people for the betterment of others. It helped me understand that it is through serving, the servant leader actually leads the team. In this facility, I helped

  • 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...

  • Personal Narrative: Shadowing A Teacher At Alcoa Elementary School

    555 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout the last two years here at Pellissippi State Community College, I have had multiple opportunities to discover who I am as a person and what morals/values that I believe in. Furthermore, I have gained the opportunity to job shadow a teacher at Alcoa Elementary school for a total of 65 hours this semester. With that being said, I fully feel like the service was an eye opening experience. Not only did I get to shadow for personal benefit but I got to help a teacher feel less stressed at the beginning of the school year. I have always had a niche for lending a helping hand to others and I think that is ultimately why I landed in the career path of Elementary Education. With that being said, throughout this semester by volunteering I have learned many

  • Reflection On Volunteering

    1778 Words  | 4 Pages

    A reflection of my volunteering experience can be summarized in two words: Life-changing. It is hard to explain the feelings that occur when you involve yourself in selfless acts for your community, such as volunteering. There is a feeling in your heart that you cannot ignore, maybe it is the happiness you feel or the overflow of emotions in helping others. In other words, it is a feeling in which you want to share with others. Maybe with a friend, maybe a classmate, maybe a family member, or maybe even a stranger. Either way, spreading how life-changing volunteering can be is a great start to making a positive change in your community by simply by involving others.

  • Reflective Essay On Community Service

    955 Words  | 2 Pages

    These experiences have afforded me opportunities to demonstrate my gifts and talents that had previously gone undiscovered. Through different community service opportunities, I either learned something new about myself or I was reassured something. These qualities include that I am creative, reliable, open-minded, passionate, and an effective team player. Community service changed my life by developing my character through enhancing my transferable skills, which allowed me to see the world differently. Everyone, from all walks of life, needs to in some way, shape, or form give back to the community because it will not only benefit the less fortunate but it will benefit the volunteers as well. Additionally, I learned about the wide variety of resources available to help the community. There are so many resources out there that people are ignorant to like certain shelters and food banks. Ultimately, community service taught me the greatest gift I could ever receive, how to be
