Helping people in my community.
It’s an amazing nonprofit organization to work for it’s children oriented has many different programs for different age groups ranging from 5 -17
when someone talk behind, my back i hate when ppl act 2 face or talk to rude. cause i'm volunteer no worker, but i let everything in God hands he got the control. is better acting with love and respect, before you lose everything you build and does years go down i respect to be respectful
I recently was working at a call center answering phones and realized I'm not doing what I love but I am good at it and the pay is great but I sure wish I could be doing something like fishing or collecting samples for research in the ocean.
Have you ever been told this before OR felt that you couldn’t apply for a job because you weren’t experienced enough? It's time to change that!
Check out these tips on how to gain more experience:
1- Get trained Identify educational programs or courses that are reputable, respected, and more importantly offer instruction and learning that translates into real-life situations. This could be at a local college or even online! Lynda.com is a great online learning platform that I have used myself, and you can even try it for a month for free and take the courses that interest you. There are many others in addition to Lynda.com as well, just be sure to find the best fit for you. Online courses are a great way to learn something brand new or even brush up on your skill set!
2- Volunteer Not only is it fantastic to give back, but hiring managers LOVE to see you have selflessly given your time to a cause. It shows you are committed, you care, and most importantly you want to make a difference! It will also potentially help you gain experience in that field and build connections.
3- Shadow someone in your field Unfortunately, businesses do not always have the time or money for official internships, but some will allow you to shadow someone for a week or two to learn how things work in their particular business or industry. Send emails to prospective businesses. Make sure to let them know your intentions and that your presence will not be disruptive. Tell them you want to learn from the best ; ) Shadowing someone in your field of interest will allow you to build connections and potentially open the door to new opportunities.
4- Consider an internship Although you will be working for free for a little while, the experience you will gain (and later add to your resume) is invaluable! You can even look for internships on Jobcase. Simply go [here] (https://www.jobcase.com/jobs/search) and add your location and the word “internship” to find an opportunity near you! An internship could lead to future jobs within that company, so make sure to put your best foot forward while you are there!
I hope this was helpful : )

Are you excited about the weekend? It's a great time to try something new. Take a class, have lunch with a friend, visit a museum or you can help others by volunteering. Helping others is the best way to learn new things, meet new people and realize you have gifts God gave you!
Have a great weekend! Perfect time for to help others. Keep your eyes open for small opportunities to help others in your community.
Yes, you are looking for a job or a better job. You don't have extra money to give away right now.... but you may have more time. Here is a secret...your time is just as valuable. Many programs need volunteers everyday. Serve a meal, work at a food bank, volunteer at the Human Society, spend time with an elderly neighbor. Plus, being active in your community looks great on a resume!
Do you want to volunteer but don't have a lot of free time? Think about being a Virtual Volunteer. Yes, there is such a thing! Volunteer in your pajamas. You can make a difference from the comfort of your own home. You can write articles, graphic arts, answer emails, promote social media, help during large emergencies and more. A great place to start is The Red Cross. Even smaller non-profits can benefit from your help.
