I signed up to begin volunteering regularly at an animal shelter. First shift is tomorrow. Growing up I loved animals and wanted to be a vet before the desire for money and greed consumed me in my teens.
Very excited for the opportunity as it will help cheer me up with my disheartening career search thus far. I was thinking about something a co-worker had mentioned; they were on a board for a local nonprofit.
I assume volunteering is how you gain the experience and eventually move "up the ranks" within a nonprofit like in a business?
