Do You Volunteer?

It must be fun (and a bit frustrating sometimes!!) to work with kids, what grade(s) are you volunteering in? Thanks for your reply :).

I might be a little paranoid to work in a hospital... I try to avoid placing myself in situations which escalate the chance i could catch something, but that's really great you could be there for people that way. It does feel good to volunteer. I had my first volunteer job when I was 16, that was in a hospital for terminally ill patients in Winston-Salem, NC, called HSA (Human Service Alliance). Best of luck to you :).

That's really great to hear :). Recently my boss, who's a paid employee there, has moved me into an office, and i'm helping with their redesign of the web site, which isn't modern right now (www.ralphthornton.org). I did the volunteer application form there on wednesday, which they really love (it sends application to their email, but i'm explaining how to use a database and stuff so i'll be modifying it in the future again. They are also teaching me all the internal stuff about their network, etc., so i think they might be planning to hire me eventually too, as there has been some talk about related things. Anyway, thanks for your reply, best of luck in all your future endeavors :).

I help people use computers at this place Ralph Thornton Centre in Toronto twice a week. mostly it's just how to use email, or make a resume, but sometimes it's more complicated. i don't mind volunteering - get to meet people, get free coffee, sometimes free meals, and experience for my own resume of course..

that's sweet you are helping out the rights of animals, it really makes me sad to hear stories on the news of cruelty. sometimes i wish the person could experience what they did to one of those animals for themself - i don't think they'd do it again.
