sheep_herder ★ Posted September 2, 2019 Share #6 Posted September 2, 2019 Take and process photos of the children and their livestock at the Eastern Montana Fair. They give the photos as appreciation to those that buy their animals at the auction. Use to photograph different functions for the art museum, but that has gone by the wayside. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted September 2, 2019 Share #11 Posted September 2, 2019 I haven’t for the past decade. In the past I have volunteered for several years each: local cycling advocacy group in Vancouver for their events. Women’s cycling group in Toronto - conference, workshops, rides. Part of organizing committee- Toronto National non-profit on equity issues, race relations, immigration policy matters-Toronto Literary & visual arts magazine on work by and industry issues involving Asian-Canadian writers & artists- Toronto I’ve learned so much, made some great friends. I try to walk my talk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One has to love their volunteer work. I realized that part of why I did do some of the volunteering was to meet new people/socialize. I forgot another volunteering gig....it was for 2 years while I was in university. For a non-profit that provided information on Third world countries, immigrant groups/issues...info. For teachers, Canadian foreign aid workers and students....who couldn’t be bothered to figure out academic boring info. Which tends to be long-winded.

I thought aboot the shelter dog walking thing but our nearest one is 2Far away, let alone the red tape hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted September 2, 2019 Share #22 Posted September 2, 2019 I volunteered a lot of time & money to youth sports for both kids. I got pretty good at boostering and making money for their programs. I also volunteered for a professional association I belong to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted September 2, 2019 Share #24 Posted September 2, 2019 I used to volunteer at a shelter for at risk teens, but my work schedule and travel requirements has made a regular commitment hard to schedule. Now I rarely do more than one day commitments and discrete projects but one goal when I retire is to volunteer more regularly at a local organization where I've done one day volunteer projects. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One I didn’t play and two they don’t need to hear another voice. I think the coaches appreciated that and let me shag during BP and even throw BP, help work on fields and basically be an extra hand for the coach wherever I could. They knew I wasn’t going to give advice or try to coach. i really enjoyed the time on the field with both my kids and getting to know the other kids.

The only time Ryan attends something I am staffing is if he staffs. That will change next year when I become the Scout Master of his troop and start doing things in his district.
