Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement
Our project’s goal is to share our experience of volunteering with SERV; an environmental service organization located in Seminole County whose mission is to clean and restore local waterways and parks. Some of the things we did with them range from removing trash at local park to getting down and dirty, planting native water plants at a lake in order to slow and prevent shore erosion. These events SERV held showed us the benefit of serving our community: it made sure community areas stayed clean, that local lakes would stay healthy for the public to enjoy, and allowed us to form new friendships with other community members who were also volunteering. While this was the most obvious benefit to working with SERV, we also learned it gave us a chance to build our leadership skills and lead in the activities we were doing.
