Did my first box office shift with London Fringe festival today, and I saw Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I have two more shifts this week. It’s a lot of fun so far!

How I did it: I used the Do-It website to find out about volunteering opportunities in my local area. I was looking for things that could double as work experience for medicine. Through them I wrote an application for an MS care home and they sent it to the centre for me, and kept me updated. I also volunteer at a hospital - I did this by getting directly in touch with the voluntary services co-ordinator. Read how I did it…

I’ve been volunteering for a short film that’s being produced by some college students for a summer project. I auditioned for a part and got it! So I’m doing the acting thing. Funtimes!
Apparently I’m going to get a DVD of the film when it’s done too!
Today I found out that I’ve been accepted for a position with the London Community Theatre’s youth theatre summer program. I’ll be helping out twice a week in July and August with backstage stuff, making props, and watching the kids. I can’t wait to start! :)

On Friday, I did youth day of caring with my club at school. We pulled weeds and it was so much fun!
I’m about to volunteer for CASA, volunteers serve as investigators, act as advocates, and are the eyes and ears of the court. Just have to finish the application and on to the next step.
After a little shopping around for the “right” kind of volunteer work for me, I’ve signed on to teach reading with the area chapter of Literacy Volunteers. I volunteered for LV back years ago, when I lived in another part of the state. I take my training class next week. Can’t wait to get started.
But I will be helping to save HISTORY. I have signed up to do proofreading for The Project Gutenberg. Helping to take books and manuscripts and turn them into e-books to save them from total destruction. I know this doesnt help my social phobia but it helps my sense of community.
