I have now been volunteering with Edwards Street Fellowship Center for two years. During the first semester of my service, I worked at the Edwards Street Thrift Store. I enjoyed that experience, but I feel as though my skills allow me to have a greater impact on the community at Edwards Street Food Pantry. Every…
This semester I got a better idea of how I can serve even throughout the circumstances that we, the world, has had to face within the past year. Even though it has been challenging it makes me much more aware of the need of servant leaders. I have been able to use what I learned…
This semester, I chose to once again visit Zooniverse for virtual volunteering. Instead of choosing service in my field, however, I decided to branch out into the field of science. The project Notes from Nature – Invertebrate Time Machine transcribes older marine invertebrate labels into a database that consolidates the information for research. As a…
This has been my 4th semester serving with Southern Pines Animal Shelter. Wondering what’s kept me serving here for so long? Well let me tell you!
