My volunteer placement 

upward bound student 

For two days during the summer I went to Crayons to Cradles, located in Newtonville, MA. With my teammates. On the first day we were making outfit packs,  creating about 4 outfits and packs for the kids. On the second day, we were all packing clothes in bags and also putting bins into shelves. 

Crayons to cradles is a non-profit organization that provides supplies for kids. They gather donations like clothes, shoes, hygiene products, and school supplies to give out to kids. 

  The experience I had with it was very good and the staff did an excellent job at explaining what to do and also helping us. I am planning to keep volunteering there, for my community service. But the thing is that it is really far away from my home.
