Overall Experience

A very rewarding experience!

I volunteered with buildOn at Hunts Point in the Bronx and had an amazing experience. We set-up games and activities at a community recreation center for young children one Saturday morning. All of the kids were very excited to have something like this going on in there community; their enthusiasm and eagerness was a breath of fresh air. Plus, the other volunteers I met were really great and we went out and had a good time afterwards. I'm definitely looking forward to the next opportunity.
