Recommended: Volunteering at elementary schools

I am currently taking on the leadership role as heading a clothing drive at my school, Lincoln Prep. All the donations from the clothing drive will go to the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. What inspired me do this project was seeing so many people not being able to have the adequate clothing for the seasons. I wanted to be able to provide them with coats, jeans, shirts, jackets, etc. Through a series of promoting the event, students have brought in nearly 30 pieces of clothing. A more hands on organization that I am a part of as well is Tigers Helping Tigers. Tigers Helping Tigers is where my high school, the Lincoln Blue Tigers, help tutor the baby Tigers at Wendell Phillips (W.P.) elementary school, which is right down the street

    In the past, I have volunteered for our bands fundraiser every Christmas, which we host at our high school. It is a unique moment in time, to see the joy of children's faces as they walk into the school that morning for Breakfast with Santa. Being able to put on a performance for those children that morning brings joy to my heart and keeps me coming back each year. Another event is the Special Olympics held in Houghton Lake. Students from our school every year go and help setup and run the Special Olympics. Helping out and getting to talk to participants is an honor and has created new relationships with people. I want to be able to give even more back to my wonderful community through the National Honor Society by volunteering and helping as much as I can. Meeting new people, and helping them in ways that can change their life can have a permanent effect on one's self, and NHS opens that

    The poem “Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers” by Adrienne Rich was written in 1950. At first glance, it appears to be a feminist piece whose sole purpose is to point out the ways in which a particular woman (Aunt Jennifer) is oppressed. However when a closer look is given, there is much more to this piece. When the poem is read line by line, much more meaning can be gleaned from it.

    With the help of the Me To We team at Queen Street Public School, I volunteered at a local food bank. The experience was quite educational and fascinating. We encouraged staff and students to donate non-perishable food items for the "We Scare Hunger" campaign. This was definitely a highlight of my grade five year because I felt very humble and warm-hearted by doing a simple act of kindness. In addition, I was chosen to participate in the "Intergenerational" program. This was created so that grade five students can learn more from the elders of the Burton Manor senior home. We had the privilege to learn about their history and interact with them through several educational and fun activities. If accepted, I will indeed join several clubs and teams to contribute my time and talents to make the school an exciting learning

  • Hemophilia Observation Report

    One community service project I would love to develop would be a local fair to raise awareness about hemophilia for the Hemophilia Foundation of Greater Florida. Before the event could be held, I would have a month prior to the date the event starts to set up posters and signs at local convenience stores, shopping centers, restaurants, and health institutions. The resources, consisting of posters, tape, and thumbtacks, would be provided through mail by the organizer of the event(which would be me in this case). In addition to these posters, I would have contact with the Hemophilia Foundation of Greater Florida to help create T.V., online, and newspaper adverts which would continually be displayed throughout the date of February 17 to March 22, based on the year of 2018. These adverts would be financed by the Hemophilia Foundation of Greater Florida, and would cease the night prior to the final night of the event.
