Volunteer service has become a symbol of a civilized society and is also the development trend of today's society. Especially during the past three years of the COVID-19 epidemic, people from all walks of life have devoted themselves to epidemic prevention and control work, allowing the whole people to see the social warmth and universal love in volunteer service. As a place to cultivate future citizens,
middle school also assumes the responsibility of guiding and organizing students to carry out volunteer service activities inside and outside the school, such as garbage classification volunteer service, civilized transportation volunteer service, civilized tourism volunteer service, clean home volunteer service, respecting the elderly volunteer service... How does the teacher guide students to correctly view volunteer service? Is it a real volunteer or a staged one? Is it true practice or just going through the motions? Is there a sense of gain, or is it task-oriented? If these issues are not understood, the volunteer service activities arranged by the school will be just a formality, soulless, and may even leave a bad impression in the students' hearts.
1. Increase your own knowledge in preparation for volunteer service.
Every time I organize an event, I will have an exchange of ideas with the participants before the event to share the purpose, meaning, implementation, etc. of the event. I always believe that only the same frequency of ideological cognition can produce a successful and meaningful event. For example, once I organized students to participate in a community garbage classification volunteer service activity, I said that we can use this opportunity to review the relevant knowledge of garbage classification again and enrich ourselves; during the volunteer service process, we can observe the garbage classification awareness of community residents, think about suggestions for promoting community garbage classification, formulate papers, and even participate in science and technology competitions. These thoughts and cognitions must be in place, external service, internal improvement, and two-way achievement.
In short, all types of volunteer service activities are an opportunity for learning and progress.
2. Exercise your own abilities in the implementation of volunteer services.
Volunteer service is a social activity that requires entering society and communicating with others. How to communicate with strangers, how to interact with strangers, how to serve strangers well, these are all challenges for children who grow up in the Internet era, and these are not included in school textbooks. Volunteer service is a very good way for middle school students to exercise. It is not a waste of time, nor is it empty talk. Stepping out means success, having experience means making progress, and growing up means constantly trying experiences that you have never had before. It means that we use the time of other students playing with mobile phones and sleeping in to enrich ourselves.
In short, various types of volunteer service activities are an opportunity for exercise and challenge.
3. In the reflection of volunteer service, pursue humanistic feelings.
The end of an activity often does not end with the end of the activity. The real end is the reflection and summary afterwards. For example, students were once organized to go into society to distribute a letter of initiative, and they had to introduce the content of the initiative to the masses. Afterwards, I gathered the students together and made a summary. I asked all the students a few questions: Have any proposals been rejected? Has anyone thrown away the proposal in front of you? Has anyone accepted your proposal and listened to your introduction? Has anyone ever told you thank you or complimented you on how awesome you are? Of course, students have encountered all the above situations. I asked again if the mood was the same? The answer is of course different. Then if we enter society in the future and encounter this kind of situation, we will know what to do, right? The student said, "Teacher, I understand." To get along with others, you need to be more warm. Even if you are a stranger, you should have humanistic feelings in your heart. Treat everyone in a way that you recognize, and you should not even be stingy with your applause or a thank you.
In short, all types of volunteer service activities are an opportunity for humanity and perception.
Volunteer service activities in middle school are a way to give back to the society, reflect youth's responsibility, and also to grow internally, mature and strengthen themselves. He not only pursues external contributions, but also pays attention to the effective experience of volunteer service and the inner growth of students. This is the meaning and value of middle school volunteer service education.
Students must understand, teachers must guide, and volunteer services must be truly carried out. In this way, the awareness of volunteer service can be established and the ability of volunteer service will be stronger.
and above are work footprints, summaries, and reflections!
