Project LINK

 

 

1.      I decided to volunteer at the teen reach center in Charleston IL.

2.      While I was there I got a chance to talk to a couple of pre-teens and observe how they interact with one another. This activity reflect concepts that’s been learned in this course and previous FCS course because we learned about helping people and about diversity and how approach different situation while taking other people feelings in consideration. In this course we talk about poverty and race and at the teen reach center they have a lot of different ethnic groups and a lot of children that are going through different situations.

3.      I got a chance to talk to the man in charge and he was telling me that he and the children really love when people come to volunteer because the children get a chance meet new people and develop a friendship. He also says that volunteering at this type of organization looks good when you talk about community service. I gained a lot of knowledge about the organization.

4.      This organization helps the community in a big way because it keeps teens and children off the street when they get out of school. They help families in major ways; they help children with their homework

5.      I personally enjoyed myself when I volunteered because I enjoy being around children no matter what age they are. They always have big and bright imagination and great stories. They remind me so much of myself when I was younger because I use to love coloring and drawing pictures with my friends and playing board games. Overall, it was a good experience I love volunteering here.
