I tried to volunteer for 2 different organizations that didn't quite happen. One of them was for a hospice, and they wanted me to train on the days I go to church, so I refused. The other was for a mentoring program for at risk youth, and the contact never called me back.

I did volunteer for a food bank to put meals together in December and that worked out great.

I had a complete breakdown when I was 23...I used to tutor hs age kids that had problems like that. Sometimes they just need to know that someone else has been there and done that.. I also volunteer at a veterans clinic...:smile:

I used to be a volunteer in a food pantry. I was also a volunteer Probation Officer for a few years.

i thought it was funny too, hence the laugh, the comment was supposed to be sarcastic or ironic or something like that

I think I'll be doing my part when I become a teacher. Getting paid **** to shape young minds counts as a type of charity right? Ha ha.

I used to volunteer at a brain injury (head trauma) ICU to tell loved ones what they could expect from the victim in the next few years.

Could they be expecting them to ask questions to entertain people on a dating site? :wink: laugh
