Big Brother, mentoring kids...

Recommended Posts

Hey,

I have decided that besides working and the egotistical pleasures I derive from skydiving, base-jumping, rockclimbing and running, I need to start doing something more useful with my life, to maintain a level of sanity.

I've been researching different types of volunteering, and so far the Big Brother program seems like it would suit me.

Does anybody have any experience with this type of volunteering? I'd love to hear about some experiences.

Thanks,

Jaap

I have a BSW (Social Work), which required a lot of volunteer work. I volunteered at several different agencies during my time in the BSW program, but I had two favorites. I was a mentor for the Juvenile Detention Center, and I also taught a photography class at the Boys and Girls Club. I had such an awesome time at both places. I will never forget the kids I mentored. I still have the pictures we took around town. It was so awesome to give those kids a hobby and a desire to learn a skill that they may not have had a chance to learn otherwise.
