Service Learning/Volunteer Hours

What does it mean to volunteer?

Volunteering means giving your time and energy to help others without getting paid. It’s about doing something good for your community, school, or people who need support.

Why would Drew require 100 volunteer hours?

Drew wants students to volunteer so they can learn how to give back, build leadership skills, and understand the needs of their community. It also helps students learn responsibility, teamwork, and feel proud of making a difference. Volunteering can also help students explore careers and meet new people.

Reflection:

I like to volunteer because it helps me feel connected to my community. I have volunteered with STEP UP, where I helped younger students with projects and activities. I also volunteer with Girl Scouts, where I help with events and teach younger girls new skills. I enjoy these opportunities because I like helping people and learning how to be a leader. I hope to keep volunteering in programs that support kids and families.

Beta Club Trip - 10th Grade - Savannah, GA

At the Beta Club Convention in Savannah, I entered the Jewelry Making Contest and made a pair of earrings. I was really proud of my design because I used colors and beads that I thought would stand out. I was excited (and a little nervous) to see how my work would do against students from other schools. When I found out I placed 4th, I was proud of myself because it showed that my creativity and hard work paid off. This experience helped me feel more confident in my art skills, and I want to keep learning more about jewelry making.

MLK Day of Service - Drew Charter School

Participating in the MLK Day of Service at Drew Charter School was a meaningful experience for me. I helped make meals for people experiencing homelessness. We worked together to prepare sandwiches, pack snacks, and write positive notes to include in the bags. It felt good to know that something as simple as a meal could make someone's day a little better. This project helped me understand the importance of giving back and reminded me of Dr. King’s message about serving others. I’m proud that I was able to help, and I want to keep doing more service projects like this.

Girls Scout - Senior

Bridging Ceremony

Participating in the Girl Scout Senior Bridging Ceremony was a proud moment for me. It felt special to cross the bridge and celebrate all the work I did as a Senior Girl Scout. I thought about all the projects, badges, and service I completed to get to this point. The ceremony made me feel accomplished and excited to move to the next level in Girl Scouts. It also reminded me of how much I grew in leadership, teamwork, and helping others. I’m thankful for my troop and leaders who supported me along the way.
