Answer all questions in complete sentences. Include this with your time sheets and journal entries. 1. What did you learn from completing your volunteer hours? Being a part of the Carson Valley Childrens Aid parenting program has given me the insight on different people from different backgrounds. They showed me that not everyone who needs help could gain help and also that one will work towards a better life but when they lack the intelligence and resources, they began to lose faith. 2. Explain 2 ways you made your community better. To start off, by volunteering in the first place is the start of making a better community. By having the youth of the community seeing me volunteer, it sets an example for the younger children and by being an example, they may one day follow my footsteps. Another way is through my mentorship and different perspective that I offer to the children that lack the big brother/parenting they need.
3. In what ways could you have made a bigger difference in your community? Explain 2 ways in There are many ways to make a big difference in the community. For the place that I volunteered at, to make a big difference, I would have to act as a leader within the community. Leading by example would attract the younger group of children causing them to follow. Another way would be through showing them the proper way to handle certain situations.
4. Why is it important for people to volunteer in their community? During the Civil Rights era, African Americans create self-sustainable communities that rarely depended on the government, but know communities wait until the government decides to deal with a situation. By having people of the community volunteer, they are creating that sustainable community, which gets jobs done. People volunteering makes
communities stronger, the people began to rely on each other as if they knew each other for years. 5. Explain the value of volunteering when you are in college Volunteering is a moral standard that I have set for myself. Before this school year, I volunteered more than 20 hours a week creating a secure network of people that I am able to contact for references, help and other things I would need help. Going to college, they would be able to connect me with cooperations that offer internships, which leads to long-term job opportunities. Volunteering also helps create relationships with classmates and even strangers that could lead to big ideas that make the world a better place.
