So many Ticktockers have take opportunities this summer to get to know their new grade level charity! I had an opportunity to tour the Utah Food Bank, as well as help them sort cans and package pasta along with the rest of the 12th grade this summer. Even if this isn't your grade level charity, the food bank is a great place to serve. Whatever the task they put you to, you're being active, interacting with other people, and you feel like you're really making an impact.
I also had the chance to tour the Ronald McDonald house along with my sister and the other incoming freshmen. I wasn't a part of NCL in 9th grade, so I had never been inside a Ronald McDonald house. It was such an interesting experience to learn about what this charity does! There are so many diverse opportunities to volunteer there. They are constantly catering to a new group of families that live in the house while their children receive medical treatment. Volunteers can do anything from arrange a movie night for the kids to design magnets for the magnet boards found on the walls of each family's room.
Now school's approaching. Make sure to set aside time in your schedules for some of these great volunteer options during the upcoming school year!
