I volunteered at the Activity Center for my Service Learning project. My tasks were to observe the children participating in the after-school program, play with them and help them with their homework. I really enjoyed interacting with African-American people and culture. I learned many things from the African American population I worked with. I learned how the Activity Center staff teaches good manners and behavior to children in the after-school program. In one of my service learning journals I mentioned that the staff was very strict and treated the kids like prisoners, but I came to the conclusion that maybe that's how they teach the kids discipline. I had the opportunity to hang with all the children in the Activity Center and interact with them. They were children like all other children. Of course they are kids and they misbehaved sometimes, but overall they were really great kids. I noticed that most kids wish they were more independent, but they were such sweet kids. The Activity Center has existed since 1955, it was founded during the civil rights movement. I learned that the Activity Center has been dedicated to helping families for many years. Corey, one of the volunteers I met there, went to the Activity Center as a child. The statement on the activity center states: "For decades the Community Center has served nearby families, youth, seniors and the Lincoln community with inclusive 'social, cultural, educational, employment and welfare' services." The community center has been a haven for many African American families who have needed financial support over the years. The social issues that have affected the African American race have been the past of their descendants. African-Americans, like... half of the card... in the lottery soon, but I know that inspiring words can mean more than a million dollars. I really think having the service learning project in the Unity and Diversity class is awesome. In class we talked about minorities and disadvantaged groups, and volunteering in minority places has everything to do with our classroom. The suggestion I have for reviewing the service-learning component requirements in a future lesson would be to require more theories and concepts in our documents. I think you should ask for more terms in our documents, so that you can examine our books and notes more. Aside from adding more concepts into the document, I don't think anything else should be changed. Works CitedHealey, J. F. (2011).
