In the Dickinson in Bremen program, there is a strong emphasis on community engagement, with a volunteering requirement to encourage students to interact with Bremen in a positive way. Keeping with Dickinson\u2019s global impact, I hoped to find an opportunity that would help me interact with locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this, I decided to join the Unicef Bremen chapter. Unicef volunteers in a multitude of ways, from cleanups, fundraisers, sustainability education, and many other opportunities. Most recently, I had volunteered with Unicef for an Earth Day trash clean-up. Dividing into different groups, we spread out across Bremen to pick up any trash that we saw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My group focused on the University and the tram lines, where we geared up for the afternoon. There were many people that I was able to meet as well as some familiar faces from past events. I loved getting to talk with everyone and make Bremen a little bit cleaner in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, I really recommend volunteering with Unicef as they are very welcoming and have a wide arrange of events to participate in. I hope to continue volunteering in Bremen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
