I got the chance to continue building on my interviewing skills and getting practice communicating effectively with people in times of stress/crisis.
I was able to reflect on how often I have volunteered, some of the struggles I encounter when doing so, and was given space to brainstorm ideas to make my situation more manageable.
I am happy that I can do my part to protect myself and those around me!
I got to return to volunteering after taking a break over the summer. I got back into the swing of things and learned about any policy changes that occurred since I was there last.
I helped to lead a group of children while playing Jeopardy and supervised while they played outside. I am trying to start learning a few names and getting more comfortable and familiar with everyone.
I volunteered for the first time and got the chance to get acquainted with the staff and children. I learned about what my roles and responsibilities will be.
I was a notetaker for my insects, science, and society course this semester. I took thorough notes each day, and being a note taker helped motivate me to always show up on time and take the best notes that I could. This experience was very positive, and I am thankful I could help my fellow students in this way.
I am grateful that I get to be in the position to volunteer at this organization and learn about how they are able to make a difference in the lives of people in our community. I have a much better appreciation for these services after getting a personal look at how it works and the individuals that they serve.
Every time I volunteer here I get to see lots of individuals from diverse backgrounds and they help me see the broad range of people that live in North West Arkansas and the struggles that they face.
