Volunteerism

Helped to mentor elementary school aged children, meeting with them once a week for about two hours.
Each session consisted of reading a book together with the children and then working together on crafts and worksheets related to that week's book.
Primary purpose of the program was to help foster a love of reading and provide children with the care and attention they need to succeed but might not be able to receive at home.

Volunteered through the University of Alabama in conjunction with a mentoring honors course.
Visited a local middle school once a week to mentor sixth graders.
Taught a new lesson each week to the students that focused on various personal values (i.e. respect or sharing) and then asked them a series of questions about the lesson to try to facilitate a discussion.
Primary purpose of the program was to help encourage the children to learn how to embody important values as they continue to grow and mature, while also providing them with the care and attention they need to thrive but might not be able to receive at home.

Volunteered at the local Veterans Administration as part of an Honors Accounting class.
Taught Microsoft PowerPoint lessons to VA nurses to help them strengthen their business skill set.
