My First Year

This is my first year in Young Men's Service League and so far it has been a good experience for me. Everyone in Young Men’s Service League has a job to do and there are a lot of roles to choose from. My role that I got assigned was the historian. I enjoyed this role because I like taking photos. The roles play an important part in YMSL because it gives every person a part to play. For example the president will call meetings to order and explain the agenda. The historian takes photos of the meetings and of the events they take part of. Because of these roles, everyone is able to contribute and feels like they are important to the group. 


So far this year I have volunteered for five different charities. I made bead bags for Beads of Courage, I helped make a trial for Colorado Youth Outdoors, I volunteered with Catholic Charities to help make food for the community. One of the things I enjoyed the most was being able to drive a tractor and use a sewing machine. These are things I never thought that I would ever do. YMSL is a very good learning experience because of all the new opportunities you get to learn about and do. The meetings are also important because you get to learn life skills.

There is a lot you can be a part of in Young Men’s Service League. You get the opportunity to do this with your friends and work with your mom. There are a lot of opportunities that you can to take part of in Young Men’s Service League. I am excited to volunteer with more philanthropies and I am looking forward to next year.
