Engineers for Community Service is a student ran OSU organization that is mainly compiled of engineers looking for volunteer opportunities. They are approximately 5 different sections of volunteering such as homeless shelter creation and the wheel chair ramp project. I am an active member under the wheel chair ramp construction project. Every Sunday about 20 engineers pile into cars and drive 15 min to the project site. We are donating all of our time and supplies to help a family in need. Some every day tas
k include: post hole digging, cutting/sawing, drilling, and measuring. These tasks have all been improving for every member and we all learn something new every day. This event is not only great to help volunteer, but also to reach out to a community and actually see people who you are affecting. Throughout the course of 4 weeks, I have made friends who share similar interests and that are also in similar classes as me. Potential employers will be able to see this event as an outreach service and something that has been improving my overall people skills. I cannot wait to see the finish project and the reaction of those who we are helping.
