Objective:
To explore volunteering experiences of class members as well as discuss the benefits and importance of volunteering and expose class members to volunteering opportunities in our area.
Summary:
“It’s not for fortune, it’s not for fame, it’s not only personal gain, it’s not for love of fellow man, or just to lend a helping hand. It’s not for medals worn with pride, it’s for the feeling deep inside of helping others far and near, that makes you want to volunteer” (Unknown author). This action packed day focuses totally on volunteer opportunities in the local community. While there is some presentation the majority of the day offers “hands on” experiences. A large portion of the day is spent with the Union Grove/Yorkville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department. Participants will experience the use of equipment at UGYFD. It’s an experience they wont forget!
