The document summarizes a volunteer experience at the New Image Youth Center where the author and their group hosted a movie night and spaghetti dinner for the children. They felt overwhelmed at first but the positive atmosphere eased their nerves. The neighborhood around the youth center is 93% African American and has high poverty, crime, and drug rates. The author is currently studying to become a teacher and volunteered at the event to donate clothes, supplies, and food for the children. The children enjoyed the movie and dinner, getting seconds and thirds, and photos were taken that will remain with the volunteers. The experience was rewarding and the volunteers felt they made a difference.
