My experience was so great while I volunteered at the Neighborhood House. I gained lots of knowledge on how to work with children, I learned to be patient with each of the kids, I learned to be a good example and a good role model and most importantly I learned that I truly helped each and everyone of the kids at the Neighborhood House while I volunteered there. The staff was very friendly and was very welcoming to me. I found myself making lots of strong friendships with several children and each time I came back I realized another student remember my name. As for this amazing experience I have had here at the Neighborhood House I will definitely be continuing to volunteer here.
