My Volunteer Work

Another passion that I have is helping others. It brings a smile to my face whenever I know that I have personally made another person’s day easier. As shown on my resume , I have had my share of volunteer work.

The Neighborhood House Association
I have volunteered here for three consecutive summers. The Neighborhood House is a non-profit daycare center, which also offers after school and summer camp services. Before volunteering here, I attended for 8 years. As I looked back on those years, it was pretty apparent of the many ways that the Neighborhood House had positively impacted my life and prepared me for the future. This made me very ambitious about giving back to them through my volunteer services. Here I had to prepare food and various activities, decorate the classroom, and participate in different events.





Union County Vocational Technical High School
This is the school I attended for the four years of my high school learning. Being that this school was considered an academically advanced school, they had many information sessions, to information prospective students of the way the process worked to be accepted in. For many of these sessions I would volunteer to help guide the guest through out different parts of the school, while also informing them along the way. In addition I assisted in decorating for various events, and also duties in the office.

Various Churches
In my hometown of Plainfield, NJ, I attend the Mount Olive Baptist Church, where I am actively helping whenever I can. Whether it’s performing tasks throughout different services, such as ushers, or serving food during different events. In addition during the Summer of 2008, I volunteered at church in Trenton, along with other people who are apart of E.O.P. We had the task of cleaning the church both inside and out.
