Volunteer
horizons for homeless children 3 months ago

so i start training on monday.

I’ll be a “PAL” or a playspace activity leader for children in homeless shelters. I’ll be coordinating and leading homeless kids in art projects and other activities with other volunteers one night a week. awesomeeeeeeeeee!

it was great to finally find an organization i could actually volunteer for- most need 10-15 hours a week minimum and i unfortunately don’t have that much time (although i wish i did)

ugh. 3 months ago

being a responsible adult really blows sometimes. i miss the care-free days of “i quit!” and reckless expenditures in the name of fun.
