Have you volunteered before?

Hi bubblyapple, I am a huge advocate of children. I started by volunteering at my church day school that offers pre-school and grades k-8th. My children both went to school there. I have been volunteering there since 1992. Now I chair the education board. I was a youth leader for about ten years. Through that I got to know all of the local teens. I supported the "music crowd" helping them book local shows and such. Two friends and I would hold a benefit show every Christmas to support teens in foster care shelters. We scheduled local bands and always brought in one know professional band to headline. I didn't really pick. I just volunteered at first to help with anything for children. Things just develop when you are committed to something. Try a bunch of them and see where it leads you.

I have volunteered before in an organization for farmers. Then I also voluntered in an orphanage and after that the orphanage hired me. Non government organizations in my country really needs volunteers because they mostly rely on funds from donations and foreign funding so volunteers are very welcome. In one of my former work in environmental organizations, we had peace corps volunteers.
