Volunteer opportunities
Has anyone been volunteering since the start of the pandemic? I used to do a fair amount of community service and participate in local programs, but not that everything is virtual I'm having a difficult time finding a way to help others
It has been challenging indeed! I am involved on a volunteer basis working with schools and universities to inspire girls to pursue an education or career in a STEM2D field and with schools/universities being closed it has been very difficult to reach the girls. Working with local NGOs we have re-grouped and developed some virtual sessions; not the same as F2F for sure, but better than nothing :-)
That's the same issue I'm facing - I used to volunteer in schools with kids but now that won't be happening anytime soon and even though I'd love to volunteer for some virtual activities I don't think kids want to spend any more time on the computers/zoom than they have to! Great to hear what you're doing though
