St. John Bosco Daycare
During the summer of Grade 9 going into Grade 10, I volunteered at a Daycare. I would help the kids with basic duties such as tying up their shoes, opening up their containers during snack time, and helping them but on their jackets when we were ready to go outside. I also helped entertain the kids. II would read to them any book they wanted. In addition to reading I would play with them outside whether it would be from sports to playing tag. The kids really look up to you and make you feel like you are their role model. The kids made me felt that like I was welcomed and I belong.

North York Harvest Food Bank
During Grade 9, I volunteered at the North York Harvest Food Bank. To help the North York Harvest Food Bank I would go into different grocery stores and wait by the entrance. As people walked into the store I would promote and try to encourage them to take the North York Harvest Food Bank bag and while they are at the store themselves buying food they could buy something for the less fortunate. In addition to trying to try to make people buy food for the Food Bank, I also went to the Food Bank itself and helped organize all the food and gave it out.
