For my Global and Community Awareness workshop I volunteered to help out with the coat drive. I wanted to help the community so I worked the coat drive table for a few hours during club hours this week. It was very rewarding to see other students’ generosity and to feel like I was giving back. I would definitely recommend volunteering to help with any drives like this one, it was very rewarding.
It was a bit out of my comfort zone. I was alone at the time and I was randomly asking people to bring me their toys and coats, but after awhile it wasn’t so bad. I chose to do this because I felt it was more hands on than just going to a workshop, it was a bit more of an experience and it allowed me to get involved in a good cause.
Was this out of your comfort zone and why did you choose this over other global/community workshops?
