Would you volunteer for 8 hours in one day?

There's a place I want to volunteer at. I've always heard of it.
They seem to really help people but, for 8 hours??
What if I don't like it?

Sure, I could just walk out but, I don't want to have to do that.

🤔

That's a long shift for volunteer. But if you like it, it would probably go by quickly and you would feel like you have really done something.

@JimboSaturn I feel 8 hours is also a long time for me to be surrounded by strangers. Typically, if you don't like someone, you go away. Can't really do that if you signed up for something for 8 hours.
I've emailed them and asked if I can do something shorter. If not, I won't do it. I know myself well enough.
I told myself I would never do another dinner outing with people that I haven't met prior. I did one again and was quickly reminded why I said I wouldn't.

@iamnikki I think 4 hours would be a better shift.

@JimboSaturn I've sought another organization. They have a 4 hour mid Saturdays. Perfect.
