Do you work with a specific community or organization, or just take opportunities as they come up?
What type of volunteer work do you like to do? Do you like the stuff where you are just a warm body - someone to hold a sign or greet people? Or more involved tasks that are more like professional work? What about shudders door knocking?
yeah i volunteer a lot. i do tasks that require knowledge and professional skills that actively contribute to make life better for everyone. i have done training for it and for it for years.
i don’t do political stuff or homeless stuff, which is what most people seem to think volunteering is? and it makes people mad when they assume that and i say that’s not what i do, i explain what i do, they tell me how stupid it is that I’m not getting paid for what I do… because well there are people who do what i do for volunteering that do get paid for it…
