Somewhere to be of service!

Finding a place to become a regular volunteer proved to be a little challenging. I think mostly because I was trying to contact them around Christmas, which is a hugely busy time for any charitable organization. I finally received an e-mail back on Monday from one of the places I applied-  the YCC.   I was so excited. 

For a moment there I was wondering why I could not get a volunteer assignment... I felt kind of like I was applying for a job where I knew I could be valuable- but could not get anyone to talk to me about it. If nothing else, I could weed their garden in the summertime...I have skills for that!

YCC stands for Your Community Connection.  It is a Domestic Violence Shelter that serves the Ogden area.  I went in today for a short orientation and to fill out the paperwork.  I will begin next week.  Supposedly it is a 6 month assignment. 

I am excited to see where this adventure leads. I am sure it will provide me many opportunities for growth- and hopefully my skills can help them in a deeper way than answering phones, or completing and filing paperwork.   If that all that they need though, I am absolutely willing to help in whatever way I can.

  1. Hey love, if you are ever looking for different service opportunities... and would like to help the symphony or opera... I would love to use you. Or if you want to volunteer to help in a lot of theatrical aspects for the Off Broadway theatre downtown as well... contact me.
