Recommended: Schools have students do required community service

As a member of the Beta Club I have a requirement of at least thirty hours per year of community service. However, I have gone above and beyond that that requirement to help my community My hours to date are as follows: Next Step Women’s Care Center (located in Dunlap, TN): I have spent a total of 3 hours in the last two annual, walk for life, charity events hosted by the center. This includes setting up tables, registering donors, and clean up after the event. Volunteer yard work: last spring a elderly lady named Ann Brown who’s husband passed a couple of years ago asked me if I could do some yard work for her she offered to pay but I told her I was glad to held for free. So I spent 4 hours the next saturday sprucing up her yard by raking

    This school should not require 100 hours of community service as a graduation requirement because of the busy lives of teenagers, the pressure of graduation, and loss of enthusiasm for community service. Schools should encourage community service but this is not the way to do it.

    It was the summer of 2013 when I was living with my grandparents and they told me about volunteering at the church.

I was in the balcony on Sunday, when I heard the announcements saying we can volunteer for their hope food pantry.

    My senior year of high school alone, I completed over 160 hours of community service. Being a full-time student and a part-time worker, unfortunately does not allow for much spare time, but whenever I do have a chance, I always volunteer through my youth group in church.

    During the summer or even on weekends my mom would take me with her to go help out her patients. Which included bathing them, feeding them, and caring for them. Not only did I help my mom with her patients but I would always help rake leaves, pick up trash and make their yard look nice. I can’t even image how they would’ve done all the things I did for them with their fragile bodies. I’m glad I was there for them and made a difference. Aside from helping my mom’s patients. I helped an elderly man who was on fire in his backyard. It was around spring time and I heard someone screaming yelling “help” so I went around to look and there he was on fire. I tried so hard to put out the fire and it felt like mission impossible but I did not give up even though the ambulance were on the way. He was burnt pretty bad, but I was so glad I found him. Who knows it could’ve been worse! He is still alive till this day and sits on his porch waiting for me to pass by his house every morning to say good morning. It’s such a wonderful feeling to know that I not only changed a life but I saved

  • Habitat For Humanity Restore

    The first place I volunteered for was the Habitat for Humanity Restore. This is a donation center that sells used appliances, furniture, and home accessories at a lower price. They are addressing our landfill problems. Most people do not consider donating their used appliances or furniture and they would just throw it out instead. This adds to the already negative pile-ups in landfills. The U.S alone is already the number one trash producing country in the world producing 1,609 pounds of trash per person per year (Solid Waste& Landfill Facts). The Habitat for Humanity Restore addresses this problem by encouraging the community to donate to their store instead of throwing out used furniture and appliances. Donating used

    Up until a few years ago I never thought that one of my grandparents would be in a nursing home. I had always been lucky to have them healthy. However, this changed about a year ago when my grandfather had a mini-stroke, which caused him to require extra care my grandmother could not provide. Watching my family deal with my grandfather made me aware of the care and services the elderly need and has made me realize how important it is to volunteer at a local nursing home.

  • 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...

    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.

  • Reflective Essay On Community Service

    955 Words  | 2 Pages

    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
