Service Learning Project

When I first heard about the Service Learning project, I was kind of confused as to what we would be doing. I wasn't sure what it meant or how we would be completing it. But, when we went to the YWCA, I felt a lot more comfortable learning about what we would be doing. I felt like the YWCA was a very comforting place and it had a good mission statement. I'm excited to help out as much as I can at the YWCA, because I love kids (even though I'll be teaching high school...), and I know that all of the kids there could benefit from having a college students interacting with them. I think this project will be a good and a fun experience for me, and it doesn't even take that much work/effort. I am a little nervous about creating a lesson or activity for the students, but knowing that this can be a collaborative effort makes me a little less nervous. I know I want to be a teacher, but doing things like this make me nervous (I know it'll go away when I do my student teaching and other field experiences, but for right now, I only have 15 hours of obversation under my belt). Plus, I know that the kids will enjoy whatever activity I (or a group I might work with) come up with. Little kids, especially preschool aged kids, love doing fun activities and I feel like I could come up with a pretty good one that would get the engaged, excited, and have fun all at the same time.
Working one on one with a student confuses me a little bit too. Are we supposed to tutor them? Or is it strictly interaction? I guess depending on the age of the student it would vary, and I would like to work with a school aged child if I can. So, are we just going to talk to them one on one? Tutor them? Play games? The requirements document said something about asking about tests. What are we supposed to ask them and what are we supposed to do about it? If they are not good at taking tests, should we help them try to improve their scores? I don't think any of this would be too hard, but I feel like the project as a whole doesn't focus around this. I would definitely be willing to help a school aged child work on homework and help him or her improve grades and/or test scores, but are they really at the YWCA to be tutored?
I really hope I'll be able to find one or two other people to travel to and from the YWCA with. I always feel awkward going into places I don't really know and doing things with people I don't really know. I suppose I just have to get used to it, and I know I will with time. But, for now, I hope there is a way I can do things with other people.
