the work the portion I have completed

Option
House

Description

This was not my first-time doing community service. This
community service was different for me it felt more personal and relatable. In
the past I have taught English nursery rhymes to kids in South Korea. I have
spent time playing bingo at a nursing home with the residents, I have also done
park clean up and I have made beds at a homeless shelter.

The Option House is a safe place as well as an emergency
shelter for kids ages three to seventeen. The Option House helps runaway kids,
homeless kids, and disenfranchised kids by giving them a place to call home.
When living here a kid is required to do all the things a kid would normally have
to do. These Kids have to do chores, have a bed time and they also have to go
to school and if they are not in school the have to have a job.

At the Option House I was a volunteer youth care worker. In
this position I would schedule a time to come by the house and interact with
the kids living there. I helped them with homework, we played sports, video
games, board games and we also eat together. Eating together and doing all
these activities gave the kids a sense of normalcy. I volunteered at the Option
House to be a positive male role model to kids who don’t get the opportunity to
see or experience that on a regular basis.

Being able to volunteer at the Option House was harder than
getting a government job. I had to pay get my finger prints taken and put on
file, fill out a thirty-page application, take a drug test, do an FBI
background check, complete interview, and a two-hour orientation. This process
took a month and a half to complete. I had to manage my time to have the time
to volunteer. Which was difficult trying juggle being a husband, a father of
six kids, a full-time student, and completing my community service.

Analysis

When problems arise as a volunteer, I am mostly hands-off
but I do take a utilitarian and deontology approach to situations. For
instance, one of the kids went on an excursion which is pretty much going out
on their own without adult supervision. When he returned, he had scrapes and
bruises and complained of pain in his hand. I spoke with him about what had
occurred and assessed the situation. I came to the conclusion that he had been
in an altercation and I needed to calm him down and help him with his bruises. He
did not want me to report the incident but not reporting it would cost me my
volunteer position. I wrote up the incident and called the Option House
director to inform her about what happened.
