Our ability to promote projects and participation has increased because we've been able to host numerous events and run a more efficient ship. These organizations are looking for college students to volunteer who can meet the needs of the people these agencies serve. I had no previous experience in drama where I was placed, and I wasn't looking forward to it at all. But I ended up doing it and getting amazingly frustrated and amazingly scared and fell in love with the kids. What became a weekly thing became a biweekly thing and now I see the kids all during the week.
Community service has many benefits for volunteers.
The easiest benefit to see is that of helping others in need, but it can also help the person volunteering. College is a time in many students' lives when we are focused on ourselves and discovering who we are. But volunteering to help those in need is also a great way to discover many things about yourself. One of the greatest things about volunteer work is that it helps you, and even requires you, to take your eyes off of yourself for awhile. No one should be a part of the Berry community and leave the campus without serving the community.
