Last Day
I’ve been helping in Kindergarten every Monday over this past school year. It’s my last day today and I’m feeling a little down about it. I’ve played games, helped with projects, cut out lots of letters and just generally helped the teacher.
Where have you volunteered at and what did you do?
Word of the Day -Sanguine
I don’t have a sanguine attitude today.

I volunteer at our local hospital gift shop. I find it interesting and nice to see people.
i’m sure they appreciate all you’ve done to help
i hope you’re not too down about it! <3
Visited orphanage homes. Donated food and played with the kids there. Listening to them talking about their dreams is the best thing.
I haven’t volunteered much in recent years… I find that I’m more effective donating money and writing letters now than I am spending time and effort doing volunteer work on-site. In the past, however, when my circumstances were different, I volunteered at the ACLU (fund raising) and the Nature Conservancy (mostly assisting with office work… filing, copying, that kind of thing).
I haven’t volunteered for an organization in years. I do volunteer to help individuals with projects they have going on though. Usually it is some type of home improvement project.
I volunteered for the seal team,. You know, to help in the capture of public enemy #1 ? But, unfortunately they turned me down
I have volunteered almost all my life. I was a missionary in high school (just went to Michigan, nothing exotic), and have done a lot of inner city work (sex and AIDs education, etc.). In my recent years, I almost constantly volunteer for various organizations that do work with people in prison or recently released from prison. I will say that dealing with people in prison or just out, I have more days of feeling like it’s a “lost cause” than any other kind of volunteering I’ve ever done in my life. But if it helps just one person…
@DirtyAndShaken - Wow – that is great. I use to work at a Federal Prison and it’s a world wide mission field.
@The_Eyes_Of_A_Painter - Maybe next time -lol
With my senior thesis, I’ve volunteered some time to set up a program at the local senior center where they can interact with animals to engage in social interaction as well as tactile stimulation. I’ll be doing it again this Wednesday.
awh i used to work in a preschool and the last days are always a downerrr
im sorrry
I volunteered to do some cooking which was great fun at a charity function!
I tutored inner city kids for several years.
This year marked my 25th year as a volunteer with North TX Irish Festival. Starting out with them I volunteered in various areas, but for most of my time, I have managed/coordinated Instrument Check-In which provides an area where performers’ instruments and/or equipment can be stored and monitored when they are not needed on stage during the festival. Recently, I have been considering being a personal visitor to someone in a “nursing home”/rehab facility. I found out that these places have residents who never or seldom get a visit from a relative or friend. Just have not been able to get that project off the ground as I will need to go through a process to allow me to do that. ~~Blessings ‘n Cheers
@DonnaLou - Sounds like a fun thing to volunteer at.
@andreasiscrazy - Cooking – now that’s a fun thing to volunteer at.
@bamxocandy - Preschoolers – such a fun group of kids.
@laytexduckie - Interesting. The old folks home here in yankton has resident dogs and cats.
I volunteer at PAW’s, nd animal shelter-no kill. I clean and bathe and feed and do whatever needs to be done, and whatever they tell me to do.
