what do you think of volunteering? is it worth it?

I think we should all put in some time at some point, a civic duty of sorts to make the world better.
It's sometimes more difficult to find a group of people you enjoy spending your time with while doing volunteer work. I think it's worth at least trying. It feels good to do good.

Sorry for your bad experience. My volunteers at our hospital were cherished and are an imperative as a healing modality. They deserve a lot of gratitude for the work they do.

Our volunteer department were a satisfied and happy group.

I think it feels good when you know you are making a difference to peoples lives, I was on a non-profit board for 2 years and it just didn't feel right because everything was about money and it kinda left a bad taste in my mouth

I want to volunteer I think it would be good to make friends and learn new things!

awww, its not right of them to make you pay for their required backround checks. I do not agree at all with that. I admit city parking is sadly a costly affair if you need to use the system on a daily basis! I am not sure why they yelled at you at the hospital, that sounds VERY unfair to me Miss. Im so sorry ... here's a 🌈 for you to make your day better

If you are going to volunteer you need something that is going to make you happy and not upset. I do volunteer work at the moment and I like it. There is bound to be something for you, you only have to find it. Hope all goes well

I came from a Catholic background. So we volunteered for school. But I also did it even after that, even after I was no longer a Catholic I volunteered like in a soup kitchen.

It felt good a bit. I didn't make any friends, though I talked to a few people.

The Humane Society let's you volunteer, cause I did. There was too much fur though that stuck to my clothes so I didn't do it again. Although I love and care for animals.

Maybe you can read for kids at a children's hospital? Or if you play some instrument you can maybe give a small concert? Just throwing some ideas, don't know if they'll accept you.

I volunteered for years at a women's shelter back home. I'm sure you can find a place that will suit your needs and budget. It is worth the effort ten times over when you help someone in need

Volunteering is a wonderful experience and a great way to step out and meet people. Soup kitchens and things like that are always looking and that's a great way to realize how blessed we really are.....:)
