Find a volunteer position that is fulfilling, inspiring, and interesting

I ended up finding a wonderful job that was both engaging and important – I worked as a medical advocate, helping local sexual assault survivors navigate the emergency room as they went about receiving medical care and/or underwent forensic testing. It is an important first contact which gives the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center a chance to offer their services to survivors and ensure that they are treated with respect and in a timely manner within the hospital. It was a fantastic experience.

I did find a volunteer position at a local hospital. I’ll even be able to work in the NICU or ER when I’m done with initial hours in patient transport. However, classes are making it difficult to go every week, so I’m feeling bad about that (at least the hospital doesn’t care – the hours are 100% flexible).
