CBL Essay
While volunteering at PRRC I learned that the simplest interactions and activities are extremely helpful for the participants. The participants gain a lot of social skills by attending the recreational, educational, and vocational activities at PRRC.
I choose this organization as my CP because I had a great experience voulunteering here during my sophomore service retreat in high school.
I participated in art classes, bingo, and snack time. The Pomeroy Center is a great place for people with physical and mental disabilities. The diverse activities stimulate personal growth for the participants at their own pace and suits their indivisible needs. The participants enjoy socializing and engaging in various activities with each other and the volunteers. While volunteering here I saw that the simplest activities, like art projects, stimulates their mind and let's them express their creativity. Even just spending time with the participants help them brightens up their day while teaching them social skills. Assisting the participants play Bingo was extremely fun. Playing bingo teaches the participants to listen and read letters and numbers because playing bingo involves listening to the person calling out the letters and numbers to get Bingo. Following the rules of bingo teaches the participants to listen and follow directions.
The main challenge I had was putting myself out there interacting with the participants on a one on one basis. For the most part I'm a shy person and just diving into a new situation in general is nerve-wracking. I got over my fears by diving into the activity and introducing myself to the participants and asking them if they need any hpcwith the activity. Another helpful thing was the participants are very welcoming and are always happy to see a new face and they would come up to me I introducing themselves. It was cool because whenever I'd walk into the building they would greet me and say they remember from the other day.
