STEM Open House
This event was constructed with the intent of showcasing different activities that are performed and materials that are used while a student is participating in STEM including science fair projects, technology that is commonly used or unique to STEM and descriptions from STEM students. When volunteering at the STEM Open House, I demonstrated how to handle a microscope so as to have a clear visual of what is underneath and I discussed my experience in STEM by this point in time.

Food Drive
Students from STEM, in the site contact's class or that had come to learn of the food drive in another way donated specific non-perishable food items which would then be distributed to the needy through another organization. I signed up to bring four cans of bone broth which I then went to a grocery store accompanied by one of my parents to purchase the item and to distribute them to a classroom where donations were gathered.

Due West (Elementary) Fun Fest
This fair like event was intended to promote the mental health of elementary school students through providing enjoyable activities, such as outdoor games and bouncy houses, for them to participate in. My responsibilities while volunteering for the first hour and twenty minutes included ensuring that all children had left a bouncy house after a set amount of time so that the next wave could be let in and surveying the bouncy house for loose items. For the final forty-five minutes of volunteering, I aided in the movement of equipment/props into the school.

Bullard's (Elementary) Bingo Night
Students at Bullard Elementary, along with their families, participated in several rounds of Bingo and witnessed entertaining dialogue that happened on the school cafeteria's stage. Before and during this event, parents and students could donate money to the school PTA to obtain drinks and food items from stands in the back of the cafeteria, in which I distributed at least 8 variations of drinks to those who donated. Thereafter, I also packed a large cylindrical container with donated food items and pushed it to another location.

Due West (Elementary) Fun Fest (2024)
As is with the previous, this event was intended for the enjoyment of the students participating as to promote mental health of the students which was accomplished through participation in outdoor games, bouncy houses, a rock-climbing wall, concessions and other activities. During this event, I was positioned at the carnival games during the second hour and fifteen-minute shift during which I primarily redistributed bean bags to the throwing line buckets, cheered on the school’s students and held a phone light over a bean bag toss board so students could have a clear visual of their results after throwing. I also occasionally directed children to the stand where prizes were given out.

Sunrise "Closet" Day (Spring 2025)
A few volunteers, primarily from Sanctuary Church, aided in the organization of clothes in Sunrise's clothing closet for exploited women/girls of which specifically included the taking of clothes out of boxes/bags in storage to then hang them on hanger after which they would be distributed based off of size and temporal climate apparel is best warn in to be hung on racks. I performed all of these standard tasks as well as the deconstruction of one rack due to its waning structural integrity and the construction of another in its place though I did require aid on some facets of organizing clothes.
