Community Service Definition: a service that is performed for the
benefit of the public or its institutions I have learned a lot over the past year about
volunteering/community service. Helping people is a way to give back and get
involved in your community. Freshmen Year Experience is a great way to get
involved in Valdosta’s community, especially if you are not from the area.
Getting to know your town can help out quite a bit!

Blazer Raiser The Blazer Raiser was a VSU tennis
fundraiser that invited sponsors to come eat and socialize, while the tennis team was auctioned off to play on teams for the fundraiser tennis match.
I helped take money and tickets at the door and made sure all the tennis members went to the right auctioners.

The FYE program funded a party to help make their lives normal and fun.

Relay for Life Relay is a fundraiser to help America’s
Cancer foundation. This event takes place once every April
all over the country. There are a lot of fundraisers and
events prior to Relay to help spread the word.
Luminaries are placed around the track in memory of the loved ones taken by cancer.

Food Bank The Food Bank was a community
service project that involved delivering food to less fortunate families in Valdosta.
I had a lot of fun working with the people at Food Bank and learned that everyone can do their part and help.
