Summative Citizenship Reflection

Reflect on your four years of community service. In a thoughtful paragraph, discuss what you
did, what you learned about yourself, the value of community service, future careers or interests,
collaboration, workplace environments, Cloverdale, Sonoma County, and/or how the experience
of community service has impacted you.
The first way I have helped the community was by volunteering at the Lake Sonoma
Steelhead Festival. I volunteered here two years in a row. I helped the staff and other volunteers
set up chairs, tables, booths and a bunch of other fun activities. I worked an arts and crafts table.
I helped younger kids between the ages 4-13 make all types of different projects.
After I volunteered at the Steelhead Festival, the next place I volunteered at was The
Boys and Girls Club. I volunteered here for two years as well. I spent my time there making
projects for the community. I helped kids, kindergarten to fifth grade, do homework. I answered
the phones and took messages when needed. I signed kids in and out of the club as well.
In between helping out at Lake Sonoma and The Boys and Girls Club, I helped out with
The Cloverdale Ponytail League, scoreboard/lines for volleyball games, snack shack for
volleyball and football games. I spent most of my three years of high school helping out
Margaret Fitzgerald with keeping score for the games. As well as doing lines for the J.V team.
We, as a volleyball team, passed out water for the runners when they were doing the marathon.
As for softball we did some serving at the local crab feeds we have in town.
