The author, acting as a social worker, describes involvement in weekly career building sessions, family life and sexual education classes, physical education, academic assistance, and self-expression classes.

The report also identifies areas for personal development, including improving planning, communication, and addressing groupthink tendencies to enhance future community engagement efforts. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of teamwork, motivation, and continuous improvement in community service.
