I am absolutely horrible at this regular blogging thing, aren’t I? As usual, stressful things happened and I just haven’t been in the mood to keep up because of that.
So, right now I’m trying to find a virtual volunteer opportunity. Websites like VolunteerMatch.org and Idealist.org have them – it could be something like keeping up a non-profit’s social media presence, or working a teen helpline, or I don’t know.. I’m curious about grant writing. I don’t have any experience with it, but I’m definitely curious at the moment. I like the combination of writing, getting to know an organization deeply, and research. Plus, it’s soemthing new. I think it would be interesting for a curious person like myself, though I worry about getting exhausted from the details. I can be detail-oriented, but I don’t think it’s natural for me. (Now, if they had a volunteer opportunity for “someone who endlessly rambles” I would be IN!)
Right now I’m looking for an organization that I particularly feel drawn to though, which is more difficult than it seems. Though I’d probably give to almost anywhere if you went around asking, lol, I think I have to have more connection than that in order to volunteer.
Hopefully I’ll come up with something and you’ll hear more about this in the future.
