Since it was my first time, I was really glad there were people there to guide those who had never served at the garden or who had less experience.
I helped clean up the campus by pressure washing the steps. Fellow volunteers also improved the campus by removing washed out soil and rerouting the water drainage. By working together, we made a big difference!
This was my first time volunteering at this place, and the staff quickly found a place for me to participate. All were welcoming and friendly, and the people we served showed appreciation and good will. The good organization, planning and execution of this volunteering experience at Room at the Inn is evident.
This was the first time I’ve volunteered with Health Students Teaching Memphis Youth, and the experience was so meaningful! I worked with other medical students to deliver a lesson about nutrition to elementary-age students. The students were so happy, respectful, and willing to learn, and they brought joy to my heart.
I’d also like to acknowledge the 7 other medical students that were there because they were so helpful. Most of them had taught these lessons before, so it was easy for me as a first-timer to follow along and participate.
I would definitely plan to do something like this again!
