How to do volunteer work
It made me
warmer
 "There's something special about offering your time simply beacuse you want to. It comes from a real place. You know it and others know it. "
How I did it: In doing my practicum for my counselling studies, I began volunteering at a drop-in centre in a hospital. Really, the majority of what I do is provide a warm place in an otherwise cold environment, and offer assistance and a "place to land".

Feel good
How I did it: I'm working in a vegetarian and biological restaurant that works only with volunteers, and therefore you can eat there rather cheap. It's very fun to do because the people who work and eat there are often my kind of people. The short conversations we make are mostly interesting (about food, tea, herbs,...) or funny. I'm also aloud to eat for free when I'm working, and the food is delicious and healthy. Read how I did it…

Once a Month

Is once a month really enough? But all I can do is weekends and then I feel tied down.

Not sure what sort of volunteer work I want to do. I am thinking something with children though! I am going to have a look at my options in my local area and figure out what I want to do.
