I volunteered quite a bit in high school, but it seems that college + grad school has left little extra time in my life (bad excuse, I know). Now that it is summertime, I would really like to find some place to volunteer once or twice a week—somewhere that I’d be doing some good and could take my mind off of headier things every once in a while.
I’m thinking about:
1) Literacy council—tutor for ESL students
2) working w/handicapped students at the institute near my new place
3) letter writing/phone banking for environmental group
4) feminist/women’s rights foundation downtown
It is clearly time to do some good.
