One thing I like about what I do is the part where a need is connected with an answer.
At the group home I meet at every week, 2 other volunteers have been coming to help with a need.
At first it was to help a young lady getting ready to turn 18 with a reading level of 4th grade. This volunteer came and tutored this young lady until she went home. Did that mean she stoppred coiming? Not at all, in fact she enjoyed coming so much that she helped with creative ideas of what to do when we are there every week.
recently, this volunteers' teaching skills and passions have been requested again by 2 new girls who have moved into the house. The girls are excited to get help in the subjects they are struggling in and the teacher is excited because she is working with her passion. It is a win win situation!!!
Do you have a skill you are passionate about and would like to share with a young person?
It is possible and I can help you get connected! Just ask me how! shevaun@offcampusjams.org.
