2023-12-06

Some college students have a strong willingness to serve, but there are shortcomings such as limited professionalism - how to make college student volunteer services more effective at grassroots, community, and rural areas... Currently, many college students are enthusiastic about participating in volunteer services in various fields, demonstrating their youthful responsibilities with wisdom and sweat, and gaining growth in practice. However, there are also some problems for college students to carry out volunteer services, such as strong mobility of volunteer groups, limited social experience, and relatively limited willingness and professionalism of students to continue participating in volunteer services. Volunteer service is an important part of practical education in universities. How to make volunteer service more effective for college students? The reporter conducted an interview on this. Some students have high enthusiasm but find it difficult to persist. "I like to hone myself in service. Since my freshman year, I have been involved in volunteer service." Ge Yue, a senior student at Nanjing University of the Arts, told reporters that volunteering can satisfy her curiosity about new things, allowing her to gain more satisfaction while completing her studies. In recent years, universities have vigorously promoted practical education, gradually improving the establishment and personnel allocation of volunteer service organizations at the school and college levels, and more and more college students are dedicating themselves to various types of volunteer services. "The key is to avoid utilitarianism in volunteer service, cultivate a spirit of courage and responsibility, and let students truly gain something," reminded Xiong Bingqi, the director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute. "Students come in batches and are very enthusiastic, but there are not many who can come in a row. Sometimes work connections are not smooth, but the busier they are, the more chaotic they become." The person in charge of a rural volunteer service station in Shandong Province said that it is very rare for college student volunteers to participate in the same service project for a long time. They sometimes need to spend more time guiding volunteers to familiarize themselves with the work environment and content. Inner Mongolia Normal University has a volunteer service team and several volunteer "experts" who have served for over a thousand hours. However, Meng Weidong, a teacher at the Youth Development Department of the school's Youth League Committee, still believes that there is still much more to do: "We can do more to enhance students' enthusiasm and service quality and efficiency for continuous service." Encouraging students to voluntarily participate in volunteer service is an important way for college students to engage with society and participate in practice, It is also an important carrier for schools to promote ideological and political education. "To effectively create a strong atmosphere of volunteer service, promote the spirit of volunteerism, and allow students to participate voluntarily and independently," Xiong Bingqi said. "After completing the required class hours for the second class, most students will continue to participate in volunteer service," said Cai Xingkai, a counselor at the School of Horticulture at Nanjing Agricultural University. When planning and organizing students to participate in volunteer services, the school fully respects their project choices and pays special attention to guiding them to contribute and help each other, cultivating a helpful character through positive experiences. In addition, combining volunteer service with students' majors to form sustainable and growing brand projects, and using personal development incentives to enhance the sense of volunteer service acquisition, is a path that many universities are exploring. "Compulsory maintenance is the expansion of theoretical learning and the exercise of practical skills." Luo Qitian, a student at the School of Computer and Information Engineering at Nanjing University of Technology, has participated in volunteer service for computer maintenance for three years. She believes that volunteer service experience related to her profession is of great significance for starting her career. Tong Jingda, the counselor of Luo Qitian's practice group
