My personal experience with doing this project was that it was Extremely hard. The reason that is was so hard was because I had to contact and get Permission from people.Doing this project reminds me about when I was younger, and helped at the Homeless shelter. I helped with many things at the shelter. For example, I played and did games with the kids. It also reminds me about other service projects that I have Finished . Because I am in Boy Scouts I do many things like building benches, putting up signs and many other things like panting to. Even though I have dun I learned many things about the homeless and homeless connections For example, I learned that the homeless shelter does more than shelter and feed the people. I learned that when they receive the people they try to get the people to a point that they don't have to come back to the shelter. They teach them how to talk to people and to get jobs.My dad a few years ago, worked/ helped at the homeless shelter.My dad talked to the people and taught them how to talk to people.

    For my sixty hours of volunteer work I decided to volunteer at a Child Life Center which was in a poverty stricken area in Norfolk, Va. At the child life center my job as a volunteer was to assist the children with their homework, help the staff monitor the children on local field trips, as well as serve as a positive role model for the children. The experience I had at Park Place Child Life Center was one I will honestly never forget. Although I didn’t get any actual counseling experience, I was able to learn the ways that the non-profit organization received their funding, I was able to gain experience in working with the youth, and I was also able to make a positive impact on the lives of children who were considered “at-risk youth”. To go there every day and be able to see the change the children had in their behaviors and how much just some attention and affection from adults impacted their behaviors was honestly amazing.…
