Recommended: Experiences in volunteering

Volunteering at Animal Talk was really an eye-opening experience. For my whole life, I have loved taking care of animals, and by volunteering at Animal Talk, I was able to see what really went into the process of caring for animals. I was able to learn valuable information while doing something I love, because Missy actually wanted to teach me. Learning how to care for animals made me re-visit my childhood dream of becoming a vet and I hope to pursue it in the future. I chose to volunteer at Animal Talk because of the connection I got to make with animals. I have cared for many sick and wounded animals, and I saw many more well I worked with Missy, but in the store I had the opportunity to use all the equipment I had never had access to before.

    Why I want to volunteer I am directionless. Lost in a sea of people; people who all seem to know what they want to do with their lives. Volunteering can help me find a direction, a path that I want to be on. Assisting patients and workers provides more information on working in a hospital than any course or the internet can provide.

    This pillar is one of my favorites because to me it is usually enjoyable, and I always come back with a new idea or perspective. Over time I have volunteered at several different places such as the Downtown Rescue Mission, Legacy Elementary, my church, Sparkman, 305 8th street, and some others. One of my favorites was 305 8th street, which is a home for adults with special needs. I went with First Priority last spring to deliver Easter baskets. The people were so incredibly happy and thankful to see us and they just wanted to talk to us all they could. This experience taught me just how much talking to someone or meeting someone new can brighten their day. Throughout the past two years, Harvest Youth Club has been one place where I have volunteered consistently. I look forward to seeing the kids each week, and I have grown closer and more comfortable with so many of them. With this experience, I have learned the value of consistency and developing relationships with people. These memories will forever influence me wherever I

    Over the summer, I volunteered at Brick Store Museum in Kennebunk, Maine. The Brick Store Museum is filled with local artifacts from York County that date back to the 1800’s. People from across the country visit the museum. I had been interested in art history and the idea of working in a museum for quite some time prior to volunteering.

    Thousands of homeless animals are looking for forever homes in America. Volunteering is a great way to give to your community and socialize the animals at the shelters. Working with dogs and cats that have not had good starts in their lives helps them trust again. It helps animals get over the trauma they have had before they went to the shelter. Socializing makes the animal more adoptable and they are given a chance to get forever homes. Volunteer at your local humane society 's and help out the animals like I have worked with in shelters.

    The process for deciding on a product was easy. I simply thought to myself, why not volunteer so that it could go on my resume and then also can count as an grade for my capstone. My capstone product is pretty simple. I volunteer at the St.Louis County Animal Care and Control, when ever I have the free time. So far I spent 12 hours there. It will be super easy for me to get 8 more hours. I don’t do much there which sucks because i’m about to get my vet assistant certification in a few months, which means I know way more about animals then probably the other volunteers do. A typical day volunteering at the animal shelter is I park my truck, sign in, and grab my name tag (now I don’t have one since I lost it and too scared to ask for another one).

  • 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.

    When I was three years old, I spent my summer in a pond by my home chasing frogs and snakes. When I was five years old, my mother found me sleeping under a mare with her foal. When I was fifteen I spent my spare time working for a family friend’s thoroughbred farm. However, my first love for animal care was born when I was nineteen when I first held an owl. I was an extremely fortunate child to grow up in the Maine wilderness as I did, learning to marvel at the raw beauty of nature at a young age. I attended a nature themed summer camp every year throughout my youth, learning about the sciences of soil and water systems and how they impacted the animals around them. I took every opportunity to immerse myself in animals at any opportunity, from

    I also had the privilege of helping with the Meals on Wheels non profit organization. My grandfather used to be a Meals on Wheels recipient and he would share with me how he enjoyed looking forward to their company and a hot meal daily. I volunteered because I wanted to give back and help someone else’s loved one in the same way. It was very rewarding delivering hot meals to people who didn’t have the means of getting one as well as being there for them to talk to. Overall, it was a very humbling experience, it made me realize just how blessed I am and how much I take for granted daily.

    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
