Volunteering at HarlemLive

Volunteering has been a huge part of my student experience at Pace University. HarlemLIVE has been one of the best volunteering experiences I've had yet. I am required to spend two hours a week volunteering for my class, Youth, Media, and Democracy. My classmates haven't had the best luck with the organizations they're working with. I am lucky to work at HarlemLIVE because I get to deal with the kids directly. I have helped in the writing and researching process which is something I like to do. I've also helped the kids interview on location. Not only am I helping the students out but I'm also learning. I've become more familiar with filming on location, how HarlemLIVE works, and what it takes to get stories up on the website. I see a lot of hard work going into the website. I am looking forward to working on more stories and providing the students with the knowledge I know about journalism and helping them focus on getting their stories done. I hope that the students can get some more stories they are really interested in in the near future.
