Boys and Girls Club Richmond, VA Volunteer Boys and Girls Club is an organization that's sole purpose is to promote and enhance the leadership of the youth. Through activities that the Boys and Girls Club offer, the children get a sense of belonging, leadership, and most importantly receive compassion and influence from the volunteers. I work with classes at a time. The classes could include cooking, arts and crafts, athletics or tutoring. I assist a class twice a week. The experience is beneficial in unlimited ways. Carver Promise Richmond, VA Mentor Carver Promise is an organization that was founded in Richmond Public Schools at Carver Elementary. The goal is to provide elementary level students with a mentor. Carver Elementary is located in the heart of Richmond. Many of the students come from poverty embellished families. The mentors are meant to support the children, and allow them an adult they can learn to rely and have trust in. I mentor a six year old, and learn as much from him weekly, as he learns from me. I can see a great change in him already through the prosperous work he has completed with me. Appalachia Service Project Guyan Valley, WV Volunteer Through the Appalachia Service Project I got to work with families in the Appalachia Mountain areas. The ambition is to provide less fortunate families with adequate living conditions. This may include, building new kitchens, installing water lines for plumbing, rebuilding sectors of the homes, and even fixing landscape. This is the most influential and eye opening volunteer service which I have completed. It provides you with insight to a world that is different than most have encountered.
