Teamwork: Managing the store and collecting donations to the organization requires a lot of planning and team effort to make the experience/task very successful.

Flexibility: Since the tasks to be completed are numerous and diverse, I would develop the flexibility to adapt to various work demands. I also anticipate working with and interacting with people from different backgrounds and age groups.

Community Engagement: I would be engaged with the Habitat for Humanity community and supporters, maintain the store inventories, gather donations, and so much more.

Civic Agency: I would interact and problem-solve with supervisors and other volunteers toward the organization's mission.

Capacity for Reflection: This would be my first social volunteer experience, and I am positive that it would give me a new perspective on being a global citizen and my contributions to society.

My grand challenge in restoring and improving urban infrastructures relates to the mission of Habitat for Humanity. As a volunteer, I had the opportunity to be an active member in the restoration and preservation of historic homes and communities and provide shelter assistance and education to communities affected by disasters. I also helped customers to load their purchased items from the warehouse to their cars.

My service to Logan Elementary has a weak connection to my chosen grand challenge. 

I had a wonderful experience working as a volunteer at Habitat for Humanity Columbia Restore warehouse. Everyone that I worked with including the store managers and the other volunteers was very kind and helpful. My service was very fulfilling because I felt that I gave back to the community in some way.
