Managed to squeeze in a bit of work volunteering 5 days ago

Showing kids in West Ham Park how to plant vegetables.

Felt like I was combining two things I like gardening and teaching kids.

Really enjoyed it – that fact it was sunny definitely helped though.

The little kids seemed really interested and enthusiastic.

I did 20 hours which is good but next Fall I won’t be doing more for I have difficult classes.

I really need to get moving on this. 1 week ago

I need to start working on my hours; Summer is the time when I’m not busy, and I always say during the school year that Summer is the time to volunteer.

Well, time to do some service for the community!!!

I want to volunteer at a horse rescue 1 week ago

There is a horse rescue near my home in desperate need of volunteers to help care for the horses. I took riding lessons in junior high (I’m 21 now) and used to own a horse, so I do know a little about caring for them. My sister owns and trains horses and wants to volunteer there training the rescue horses, but I’ll be happy just mucking stalls and feeding them. It is hard work, but I think it will be healthy for me. Psychologically and physically.
I’ll probably be starting soon.



online volunteering 1 week ago

This might be an option for those who live in isolated spots where volunteering ‘in-person’ isn’t an option:

Reading to 2nd graders 1 week ago

I am very excited about the possibility of being a volunteer to go into a school and assist a child in reading. I wanted to do this last year after I had August; however, the time just did not work out. I made the call today to the program and they said they will be sending out an email with the info on it. I have to get a background check. She said that they like to wait a few weeks after school starts to go into the schools. I would be assigned to one student and I have to make 30-45 minute sessions per week. They would like you to assist on the same day/time.



Untitled 1 week ago

Today I expressed interest in two different organizations and gave one organization my contact information. Hopefully I will soon hear from the other volunteer positions I am interested in.

Gloworm09 isn't being notified of her new comments on here

Is looking like 2 weeks ago

I may not have time to do this after all! Got notification of the change in my benefit from Income Support to Job Seekers today. Which basically means I have to get a job. I was hoping to get an I.T course in first but it’s not likely now =(
I’m finding all this very scary to be honest.
