Co-op at CCAC Wound Care Clinic
I did a co-op in high school in a wound care clinic to see if thats what I wanted to do in the end. I later found out that it wasn't the right choice for me after not being able to handle a lot of things I saw. While I was there my job was to write up client charts and to file them correctly. Also to put away clinic supplies when we got an order in. I loved doing this co-op because I learned a lot of new things and saw progress with clients and getting to know people more personally as their 'Co-op' nurse. I did my co-op there for 6 months. from January 2012 - June 2012.
VBS (Vacation-Bible-School) at Calvary Church
I have volunteered at my church (Calvary) for the past two summers being a leader at the vacation bible school we run. I have a set amount of kids in a certain age group (usually grades 2-4) and I help teach and lead them during the 'day camp' we have running. This was a great opportunity for me because I love being around kids and seeing them grow in the church. I have done this in the summers of 2011 and 2012.
YWCA
I have volunteered at the YWCA in St. Catharines. I helped prepare food and wash dishes for young and older woman with children that would come for meals. I found this very incredible, getting to know and hear some of the stories of these woman. It felt amazing to do this at such a young age for woman in need! I did this in the summers of 2007 and 2008.
