Description
For my service-learning project, I volunteered at the Lighthouse Program at the Highland Volunteers of America Center. The Lighthouse is an after-school program for students from kindergarten age to seniors in high school. These children come from different schools to do their homework and participate in fun activities while their parents work. It is a great way for them to actually do their work and study for tests since they may not be able to do these things at home. Because some of these children come from parents that are indifferent, they have a harder time understanding the schoolwork that is asked of them. I volunteered to tutor second-to-fifth grade students who were having a harder. For the most part, it was just a matter of helping them with their homework and clearing up any confusion they had. It really helped them to have someone who wasn’t a parent help them with their work. After I finished assisting the children requesting help, we did extracurricular activities such as learning activities, playing kickball, or learning about computers.
