Upon starting our community service project, we realized how difficult it was to pick which organization we wanted to volunteer for! Therefore, using the resources Baruch has to offer it became very helpful. In one of our freshman seminar classes when we learned about idealist.org, one of our librarians taught us about how to use the website and it helped in finding our organization. Along with the librarian, the best peer mentor ever, Maria, a sophomore at Baruch, also helped us out when we were stuck on idealist.org and we ended up choosing the Pajama Program! She volunteered there last year so she was able to give us more information on it as well. The Baruch community is the best way to get help on anything you need. Likewise, in the beginning of the year I joined the club Women in Business and they were so inviting and have been a huge help with so many aspects of my student career. It helped me get adjusted to the school, make even more new friends, and have fun, which is surprising for a club that sounds so serious! Overall Women in Business has also taught me how to be professional and confident in myself in things such as public speaking and connecting with others. This can help me in almost all my classes such as with encouraging me to be a group leader or to participate more in class. Likewise, I think similar skills can help me in the community service project. Being confident and willing to participate and enthusiastic about volunteering will bring about a greater success. My understanding of community service has also evolved as a result of this Project and seeing all the presentations by realizing even the small impacts we make or the small changes we can cause, aren’t really so small at all. Little things can mean a lot to someone or something in need. In 3 years, I see myself as a proud graduate of Baruch, who is more well-rounded thanks to the opportunities given through Baruch Scholars.
