As a Graduate Assistant with the Speaking Center at University of North Carolina at Greensboro, he was privileged to be provided opportunities to assist others with their communication skills not only in an on-campus tutorial setting, but also in the Greensboro community at large. One experience was working with the Homeless Union of Greensboro on their communication skills to aid in the delivery of speeches they were preparing in order to advocate for themselves later that night with the Greensboro City Council. There has been previous research on advocacy outside the Speaking Center which discusses the positive effects of such volunteering efforts on the community (Cuny, Thompson, Naidu, 2014). This essay will assert that this experience was valuable not only to the Greensboro Community but also to the Speaking Center consultants who volunteered, and that similar opportunities should therefore be afforded to employees at other Speaking Centers as well.
