What will you do to become involved in Civic Responsibilities? en-us 2016-07-26 15:16:20 UTC 2021-04-29 16:59:44 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372279620 In order to become an active citizen, I plan to participate and volunteer at events, NGOs, and Non-profit organizations in the future.]]> 2019-07-25 13:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372279620 https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372280150 To be active in my community, I plan to help convince all of my friends and family to vote for their favorite party and for myself to also vote each election. ]]> 2019-07-25 13:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372280150 https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372280496 After understanding what it takes to be an active citizen, I want to be one myself. In order to do so, I will volunteer in my community and raise awareness to issues that my community may encounter. In the near future, I plan on  joining NGOs as well to create change in my community. In addition, I will encourage family and friends to vote in the next election to be a part of our democratic society.]]> 2019-07-25 13:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372280496 https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372286655 To become a more active citizen, I will stay up-to-date with events going on in my community and volunteering at said events, joining NGOs and voting (when I'm old enough).]]> 2019-07-25 14:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372286655 https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372288735 I will organize meetings and events to raise awareness about garbage disposal. Also different ways to reduce and reuse to minimize the amount of garbage we create. 
I will also attempt to start an organization that will eliminate the use of plastic straws.   ]]> 2019-07-25 14:58:41 UTC https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372288735 https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372299577 This is the main/one of the main things youth can do nowadays (who are under 18), whether it be helping at an animal shelter, or child care.  I will try to volunteer in areas of high demand, so that my volunteering does as much  service to society it can.  It is easy, (can be) fun, and is good for your resume. ]]> 2019-07-25 17:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372299577 https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372299669 I will be encouraging my family and friend to vote in the upcoming and future elections. Along with that i will try to volunteer at soup kitchens and events in my area. I will also continue to donate at least half of the gifts I get to gift drives. Lastly, helping people that need it, whether it means putting ou garbage bins or watching a house while they are on vacation. ]]> 2019-07-25 17:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372299669 https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372299809 I will try to donate to local AND international causes (as a global citizen).

I will volunteer within my society and help with events where I will be abe to help raise awareness of problems that are currently occuring in the world/community (e.g. raising awareness for deforestation) , and where I will be able to assist the people in need (e.g. hospitals). 
Another action I plan to take to become an Active Citizen, is by donating. I will donate to societal/international causes that need the most support, as I want to be a part of making the world a better place (e.g. donations to refugee camps). ]]> 2019-07-25 17:42:06 UTC https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372302037 https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372302711 In order to become a more active citizen I plan on volunteering and being more active in involving myself with organizations that I believe in. I also plan on assisting the political party I align with by campaigning for that party. I will also encourage those around me to get more involved and vocal about politics and their Civic Responsibilities.]]> 2019-07-25 17:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372302711 https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372304157 To become an active citizen, I will volunteer at many non-profit organizations.]]> 2019-07-25 18:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372304157 https://padlet.com/elan_umholtz/a2fqbz5op4y9/wish/372307583 participating in various competitions and activities.

It is an easy way to give back to the community, and will give me something good to do in my spare time. I will also gain valuable experience volunteering, which may lead to more opportunities such as part time jobs. Some specific volunteer work I can do include: volunteering at a senior resident home, a summer camp, or a hospital.
