Profile
of a volunteer
“Volunteering represents a way of
life for so many members of our community and a wonderful way to extend
support, skills, and knowledge to others. You may have your own personal
experiences as a volunteer; still others may have been impacted by the work of
a volunteer who has dedicated time to benefit the lives of others.” (Assignment
Prompt)
Ms.
RW is a volunteer with our program here at the 18th Avenue Family Enrichment
Center. She is a high school student who
comes in twice a week for two hours to work with our school-age group. Ms. RW took the initiative to create a
program that exposes the children and their families to new foods that are
healthy and bringing awareness to the importance of exercising and being active
for at least thirty minutes every day.
She connected the school with a company that does yoga for children and
now we can add yoga to our extracurricular activities. She is dedicated to improving the health of children
in our program and for that I greatly admire her. She is a leader in her community and I would support
her in any way that I can.
Her
volunteer work raises health consciousness which encourages children and families
to be healthier, to exercise, and to be active. Consequently our families have come to love
her and cherish the work that she does.
Ms. RW reinforced the need in me to take initiative when I notice
aspects of life that can be improved for children and families in my
neighborhood and abroad. She inspired me
to be proactive about my beliefs and to stand firm to fight for them.
