I am currently involved with the Ronald McDonald House of Kansas City, Missouri. This project consist of preparing meals for families of children who are ill. I am also apart of the Adopt-a-Highway project in which YWF landscapes and clears trash from the exits and entrances of the highway.
What I like most about working in my community is knowing I am making a difference. It's most rewarding to see a change of any kind that benefits the community as a whole.
My favorite moment with Young World would have to be the previous project with the Ronald McDonald House of Orlando, Florida. Everyone was very gracious, energetic and merry. Their interaction with the families was astounding. It was a delightful moment I will never forget.
Through my work in philanthropy and community service, I've learned the skill of preparing meals and effectively using gardening tools to complete yard work. |

Some of the projects I'm involved in at the moment are track, tutoring, community service and helping out others around my area such as my fellow neighbors. For example, when someone I know is moving I'll volunteer help them move with no charge, or I might cut someone's grass.
What I like most about working in my community is just to see people happy. I also have fun while doing it. When I was a child my parents, grandparents, and even my church had community service events going on, so helping out in the community is like second nature.
My favorite moment from my time with Young World was going on our first trip to Orlando, Florida. It wasn't my first time there, but we went to so many places like the beach, and everyone down there was polite.
Some of the things I've learned through philanthropy and my time doing community service were that no one should take anything for granted. You should value everything you have, even the little things.

The sort of projects that I am involved with are volunteering with children at my church. I do small church functions, and mainly just anything that is asked of me.
What I like most about working in my community is that I always get the opportunity to meet new people and be a part of the group to experience new things.
My favorite moment from my time with Young World was when we got to serve at the Ronald McDonald house in Orlando. I was excited being I was the first to share with a lady named Melanie about our purpose and the things we do. Also, I enjoyed just listening to her stories about her daughter and how she overcame each small struggle.
The skills I have learned through my work in philanthropy and community service are learning to work together in order to get things done. I have learned to appreciate things through the small challenges we have faced and although they may get a little more challenging, the previous projects have prepared me well for any upcoming events. |

 I think we've been witnessing violence for years, whether in reality through the media or through video games, and I don't think that's a first-hand effect. |
