Rox - that sounds awesome!!

I just applied for a bunch of volunteer positions. In a couple weeks I'll hopefully be volunteering at either PP, AIDS Action, or a drop in center for LGBT youth.

pp = planned parenthood? or are you voling @ pleasant plains' house

Yeah, planed parenthood probably in the call center although tbh I'd voluntarily babbysit for beeps anytime.

i dont even know what i mean

im glad that this thread exists - really helps defines 1p3ers as well rounded individuals

went and dug up invasive species in the gulch this afternoon

feels gooder than a muh

what were they!

i chopped up an ancient honeysuckle with a chainsaw it felt like murder but my grandma encouraged it i'm so confused.

the best smelling murder i will ever commit using a chainsaw.

o_OOOOOOOOO

I'm glad you've left open the possibility of better-smelling murders by other means

i'm an optimist

i may end up doing some court ordered community service soon, thanks john q law

oh yeah i have done some flyering for a local breast cancer benefit and will volunteer at the event itself; last year i held aloft items for the charity art auction, i probably will do that again this year

also i'm thinking about doing a 100 mile breast cancer benefit bike race in september!

wow!

more invasive plants got 187ed this afternoon afaic

what were they!

man i was SO excited about this, but apparently some poor kids dont give a FUCK about a fingerstyle guitar haha

i talked to a lady about maybe teaching some music theory and stuff there though, might be really cool!

phone banking for obama health care tomorrow

sister sez i have to volunteer to meet worthwhile ppl and maynbe get job hookups. it just seems like so much work.

i mean volunteering is cool but shouldn't i fcus more time on paying rent atm?
this just makes me soundl ike a bad person.

No, it is hard work! I am trying to get a volunteering gig at this one place and I have to go to like two 3 hour long orientations. I'm going to do it but between that and job hunting - argh! She's probably right that it would be a good way to meet people though.

yeah i'm sure it would

you gotta get your shit scr8 before u worry about getting everyone elses scr8 imo

scr8 or die

yall im getting ready to start this awesome volunteering gig teaching refugees english and helping them get situated in Knoxville. we have hundreds of burundian refugees here (did not know this until recently btw) and i'm excited bc this will be the first time ive been able to put any foreign language knowledge to real use

volunteer work is kind of taking over my life

i dont really care esp now that i found out volunteer work counts the same as actual employment when applying for ranger jobs - at least according to the rangers i interviewed with the other day

current shit:

• organizing a trail cleanup/maintenance day for city/county parks w/ 50 volunteers
• tutoring refugees in english
• maintaining 2 smokies trails
• fixing up/rehabbing a museum by myself in a valley of the smokies - it was abandoned and in disrepair
• gardening work for knox botanical gardens and arboretum
• phenology work
• bear work
• some possible GIS mapping work coming up?

i need a job yall

oh yeah im back with the

• elk bugle corps

I would like to know more about

bear work

Volunteering tomorrow at the biggest shelter in the city. It's just a one day thing but should be interesting.

Is it the Appalachian Bear Rescue that I'm now friends with? If so - <3

yes imo

educating little kids about bears! doing powerpoint presentations and stuff at schools and such

awwwwwww

love it

yeah not having a 'real job' has totally = increase in my volunteer stuff, even tho I actually have a fair amt of freelance paid work to do too! But I think volunteer stuff is a good way to get perspective on what yr really interested in and cld pos make a living at one day or open up work/$ opportunities, in my experience.

Latest: I am applying to be on the board of a youth health&wellness organization! :)

no bears tho :/

I volunteered this morning. It was fun. Met some weirdos.
