Service

I volunteered at the Dunn Dash (March 2, 2019), Buckeyes Give: Columbus Day of Service (April 6, 2019), and Carmack Woods Cleanup (April 7, 2019).

As a volunteer at the Dunn Dash, I was responsible for counting laps for runners on the track. As the participants went by I cheered them on and helped them keep a positive attitude. While volunteering, I enjoyed seeing how passionate all the participants and volunteers were. (3 hours)

At Buckeyes Give: Columbus Day of Service I did some weeding and planted seeds at Indian Village. The event was put on by the Alumni Association and the Student Alumni Council. The first thing we did was learn about the programming that happens at the park, such as after school programs and camps. I helped to weed raised flower beds outside and spread mulch around them. I also planted vegetable seeds in smaller containers which will be transferred to the larger gardens at a later date. All of the alumni that volunteered were very energetic and made everyone feel more comfortable. At the end of our volunteer session we relaxed and ate s’mores with the site directors. (5 hours)

At the Carmack cleanup I helped to pick up trash in the woods. The event was well organized. Half of us picked up trash, while the other half was planting trees. They organizers generously provided Jeni’s Ice Cream, Panera, and Buckeye Donuts. (2 hours)
