[Community-service] Community-service Digest, Vol 62, Issue 22

Wed Apr 15 19:35:31 UTC 2015

I would call and talk with someone. If the location is not too far away, I would go in person and get information. 
If you really want to volunteer, you will make a trip and get details.

I found 1 volunteer opportunity.  However, when I clicked on the I
want to help button, they said that it requires a valid drivers
license.  Not just a valid state issued identification card.  Here is
the link to the opportunity:
http://www.volunteermatch.org/search/opp1964604.jsp.  In their help
wanted ad they do not mention driving.

>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> Thanks for sharing this, Darian. I will second the comment that the

>> >>>>> community
>> >>>>> service.
>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> I really like this article, and I think its author has some really
>> >>>>> good
>> >>>>> things to say about getting involved in service and finding out
>> >>>>> what
>> >>>>> you
>> >>>>> truly enjoy doing. The main thing that struck me is the point the
>> >>>>> author
>> >>>>> made about being open to new experiences and just getting out there
>> >>>>> and
>> >>>>> trying something you think you?re interested in, even if you don?t
>> >>>>> think
>> >>>>> you
>> >>>>> know enough about how to do it. Often you do end up learning the
> most
>> >>>>> valuable information through emersion. I know this is one of the
>> >>>>> biggest
>> >>>>> struggles I?ve had personally in getting more involved in service.
> I?m
>> >>>>> a
>> >>>>> very structured person. It?s a lot easier for me to go and do
>> >>>>> something
>> >>>>> if I
>> >>>>> know exactly how it?s going to go and what is going to be asked of
> me.
>> >>>>> What
>> >>>>> this author is saying, though, is that the key is just to get out
>> >>>>> there
>> >>>>> and
>> >>>>> you will learn what you need to learn as you go along, and that?s
>> >>>>> okay.
>> >>>>> I
>> >>>>> know thinking like this makes me a little nervous, and I would
> imagine
>> >>>>> that
>> >>>>> this fear of the unknown is what ultimately leads many blind people
> to
>> >>>>> decide not to serve because we worry that we won?t know how to
> perform
>> >>>>> the
>> >>>>> tasks that are needed. This article stresses that the key is just
>> >>>>> to
>> >>>>> say
>> >>>>> yes. Don?t think too much about it. In full disclosure, I?m not
> saying
>> >>>>> that
>> >>>>> this is easy. I?ll be the first to say that it?s certainly not for
> me,
>> >>>>> but I
>> >>>>> think it?s advice worth trying. And what better time to try than
>> >>>>> during
>> >>>>> the
>> >>>>> 75 Days of Service, when there?s a whole group of people there to
>> >>>>> support
>> >>>>> you and talk through any worries or challenges you might have.
>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> The author asks us how we move from passively skimming headlines to
>> >>>>> caring
>> >>>>> to actively doing. This is a question I?ve wondered about for some
>> >>>>> time,
>> >>>>> and
>> >>>>> it?s why I love what we?re doing with the 75 Days of Service
>> >>>>> because
>> >>>>> we?re
>> >>>>> not just talking about what issues are important to us and what
>> >>>>> we?d
>> >>>>> like
>> >>>>> to
>> >>>>> do about them or what we wish someone else would do about them;
> we?re
>> >>>>> actually making plans and taking an active role in giving back to
> our
>> >>>>> communities.
>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> The following passage from the article resonated with me the most:
> ?By
>> >>>>> living fully?not turning away from things that are different,
> complex,
>> >>>>> messy, intense?you will find how you are capable of doing
>> >>>>> meaningful
>> >>>>> work.?
>> >>>>> This speaks to me not just as a person who wants to get more
> involved
>> >>>>> in
>> >>>>> service, not just as a blind person, but as a person in general,
>> >>>>> and
> I
>> >>>>> think
>> >>>>> it?s something we can all take to heart in our lives.
