For a Service Learning Project done in a Community Health course I served as a tutor at Oasis Catolico Santa Rafaela. After completing this project, I wrote a paper to share my experiences and lessons I had learned while working with these students. In addition to my own personal experiences, this piece goes into depth on what the organization does, what a typical day consisted of, and a brief cultural background of the community. This community consists mainly of low-income Hispanic individuals. Interacting with these children and parents allowed me to learn many things including how to better work with children at various education levels as well as understanding and dealing with difficult situations.
This piece demonstrates my ability to:
- Engage with a community
- Teach students at different education levels
- Help those dealing with difficult situations
I have included a link to the Oasis Catolico Santa Rafaela to provide more information as well as for anyone in the Athens, Georgia area interested in volunteering.
