Share
yourself!

One of the most satisfying and
useful parts of life is supporting and
sharing oneself with other people who
really need the attention, help and care.
Volunteer activities are a great
contribution to community life. They show
maturity and reflect positive attitude
towards the world. Volunteers make lots
of friends and learn what "
friendship" means.
The feeling of satisfaction that the life
of at least one person has improved is
worth all the time and efforts required.
There are
many different opportunities for students
to be involved in community service.
Skyline Middle School participates in
HOSTS (Help One Student To Succeed), a
nationally recognized mentoring program
using students as mentors. The goal of
the program is to help develop language
skills for students who have
difficulties. It is a fulfilling
experience both for mentors and students
who discover and learn many different
things from communicating with each
other. Participating in HOSTS as a mentor
is also of great value for those who are
thinking about a future career in the
field of education.
Another
great opportunity to work with kids of a
younger age is the nation-wide "Read
Aloud" program. Volunteers in
"Read Aloud" read to
preschool-age children in childcare
centers.
The
Green Circle Program also accepts
volunteers to help kids from
kindergartens up to the Fifth grade to
resolve conflict and reduce prejudice
through debates and discussions.
These
opportunities are just a few of many
volunteering options. Interested students
should ask for further details in the
guidance office.
