I volunteered for 2 events on separate days. This was the community dinner on Dec. 10 and the other one was a kids' Christmas party on Dec. 12. During the community dinner, I've helped set up the tables, prepared food, served food, and cleaned dishes. Essentially, I volunteered as a waitress within the volunteering duration of 5 hours. This shows my experience with labor as I was constantly moving around to complete tasks. During the kids' party I supervised the area, greeted the community members, and sanitized tables for 3 hours. This demonstrates my patience as I was able to supervise a specific location (the main door) for a few hours.

What I have displayed:

• Assisted with special events or programs.
• Maintained clean, neat and operational facilities to serve program needs.
• Used strong interpersonal communication skills to convey information to others.
• Supported engaging, fun and smooth-running events by helping with organization and planning.
• Greeted visitors and answered questions about program, requirements and opportunities.
• Engaged in community outreach to aid program mission centered on community support and enrichment.

To be more precise, I volunteered for 3 programs during this duration. During Nov. 1-Dec. 17 I volunteered 4.5 hours of my time to a program called Coding Buddies. On Nov. 22, I volunteered for 3.5 hours in a special event where I supervised kids and played games with them. During Sept. 1-Nov. 16, I volunteered to help little kids read books in a program called Reading Buddies for 6 hours in total. In conclusion, I have built my social skills with young children, which would help me in times of if their is a lost child during my shift.

On Sept. 18, I volunteered to pick up food for a food drive on the doorsteps of houses for 2 hours. During this time, I had to run to various houses that had food donations and haul the food (in some cases were heavy) to put in a car(to be delivered to the church). This has given me experience in physical labor.

What I have Displayed:

• Coordinated food for disadvantaged individuals and families.

This was one day event in Chinatown to showcase the contemporary art based off of local Chinese streets in the form of tables and chairs. I volunteered for 5 hours as an information station attendant. During my time I cleaned tables occasionally, provided information to passerby's, and supervised for COVID restrictions.

I volunteered for the Lunch & Learn program where I interacted with senors to build stronger connections between seniors and youth. I volunteered during July 20-29 for 8 hours and Aug. 17-26 for 4.5 hours. This experience has helped me built my social skills with seniors.
