Why I Want To Volunteer

I’ve done a fair amount of volunteer work in my life. Volunteering instills a sense of giving back to the community; all of which benefited me through my academics and personal life. It’s amazing to see how my contribution has made a difference in the community. I’ve done most of my volunteering dealing with children. I had volunteered as a volleyball coach, a leader for a camp, and a tutor.

I incorporated my hobby into volunteering which was volleyball. I wanted to teach the youths how to play volleyball by being a coach. I usually spend an hour for about three to four times a week. I coached children from fifth grade to tenth grade. I was able to be lucid and tolerant towards the kids since it took a lot of patience to get them to understand. I was impressed to see that the kids were learning and improving their volleyball skills because I demonstrated it to them. I love volleyball

I was able to be a good role model for the children by getting to know them, always having a positive attitude, and influencing them with inspirations. This experience was genuinely exciting and productive. I became close to some of the children and it was wonderful to know that the they liked me very much.I loved the people I worked with, the children and getting to know them, and being able to be good role models for them.

As for right now, I am volunteering for this program called The Leaven for my service learning project. This program is where I help and tutor children who live in struggling neighborhoods where drop-out rates are high and violence threatens the community. This has given me an opportunity to give back to the community and help make a difference. It also offers me the chance to try out a new career and gain new skills. It taught me about responsibilities and how to be unselfish. I thought tutoring was going to be boring but the more time I spent there, the more it became
