Service learning (independent hours)
This year for my independent hours I am going to volunteer at my mom's job. She works for a non-profit organization called Vision For Equality, which is located on 7th and Arch. Volunteering there I'll most likely be doing filing and mailing for the company. I already have a few hours that I did there and a letter stating that I did those hours. To do this I'll just walk up there after school and volunteer for a few hours until they close.
School wide service learning
Last year for my hours in school I did school tutoring. I enjoyed this last year because I like working with children. Even though I didn't want to do service learning last year, after it started I had no problem with it. The only part that I don't like is the research that we have to do for it. This year for my hours in school I'll probably do school tutoring again, unless there is something else that sounds more interesting than tutoring.
