September 27th Service on Saturday; Memphis Rox's Gym Cleanup (AkPsi/Open Signup)

Great time, really enjoyed it

I thoroughly enjoyed cleaning the gym during the service on Saturday and am eager to participate in more service events. During the cleanup, I honed my teamwork skills, as many tasks could have been done individually. However, working with others not only made the process quicker and easier but also more enjoyable as it allowed me to connect with someone while cleaning. This experience shifted my perspective on my role within the community, highlighting how simple it is to contribute to others’ well-being. Memphis Rox, being a nonprofit that significantly benefits the community, made me feel better about myself and my surroundings. I also formed a new friendship with someone who helped me clean the windows. I plan to continue volunteering with this organization because of their commendable mission and pay-what-you-can policy, which I admire as it ensures everyone has the opportunity to rock climb, regardless of their financial situation. In the future, I would like to speak with the leaders to learn more about the organization and its mission.
