Miranda Steinert

As a volunteer camp counselor, it was my responsibility to counsel and interact with children from a variety of ages and backgrounds. We interacted with a different group of children each week, coordinating group discussions and activities to help the students work together as a team and build self-esteem and confidence. We also counseled students in personal one-on-one settings to direct them through life challenges and help them achieve their potential.

In this volunteer position, I came alongside and counseled children who came from broken homes and abusive situations. Through personal interaction, we sought to give them hope and a sense of personal value. We interacted with the children and taught them about farm life and horseback riding to give the kids a sense of connectedness, worth, and compassion for the animals and each other. My main responsibilities were greeting the kids and walking them through learning how to groom, ride, and and care for the horses.
