Volunteer Experience & Community Service

This Fall 2015, I completed 22 hours of volunteer work  at the United Senior Center of Sunset Park which is funding by the NYC Department of Aging. I had the opportunity to explore the center and use my skills in different capacities. For the volunteerism class, I created a recruitment flyer and the volunteer manual.  I also translated from English to Spanish a couple of times to the guest speakers. I worked in the kitchen filling up plastic containers of fruits, but it was a fun way to build community with the seniors who are serving in the kitchen. I worked closely to the activity coordinator and the executive director assisting with office work. And, I co facilitated the walking club sessions in which we, a staff and I, motivated and encouraged seniors to do exercise, especially walking.
