Center

i know it sounds silly that i am asking this question, but i have recently found this organization that helps find missing children where i live and it’s headquarters is like a 20 minute drive from my house. i have always wanted to volunteer for something involving missing and exploited children and i think it would be a great volunteer experience. it’s something that i have become passionate about and i would love to do it. the reason why i am asking this is that it’s bad timing….i am going into my last year of high school and this summer i am upgrading 2 courses which will take the whole of July. this August i have to fill out university applications, study for SATs, and possibly take driving school. if i volunteer, that means my mom would be the only person to drive me and thus take time off of weekends from her studying…she’s going back to work.

i really want to do this but i don’t know how to tell my mom without her getting angry. i need some ideas on how to convince her!

all advice is welcome and thanks for answering

she wont get angry you are wanting to help people out and she will be proud of you that you want to volunteer just tell her that u have found a voluntary job which you really want to do, and if she is not doing anything could she please take you, im sure she will take you as long as she is not at work if she cant take you all the time there will be someone else working there who could take you there and back, tell your mum that you still have time to do everything else and this will also look good on ur cv xx
good look and please answer mine x

Over one thousand Tulane University students hit the streets of New Orleans on Saturday, Sept. 1 to volunteer as part of “Outreach Tulane,” a variety of day-long projects in various neighborhoods of New Orleans.

Students coordinated projects with over twenty community groups, including the Louisiana SPCA, Habitat for Humanity, Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans and Acadian, Project Lazarus, City Park, Communities in Schools, the Green Project, Malta Park Assisted Living Facility, Beacon of Hope Resource Center, and more. Volunteers gathered bright and early on Newcomb Quad of the uptown campus and were bused to service agencies around the city.

It was the largest single day of community service for our students, faculty and staff. Activities included painting public schools, general cleaning and yard work, cutting fabric squares to make beds for animals, socializing with elderly residents, sorting and packaging food and other donations, building a Habitat home, and picking up trash and debris.

Public service is a graduation requirement at Tulane.

Fourteen years ago, Julie Gomez had surgery to remove a gastrointestinal carcinoid tumor, her gallbladder, and parts of her liver and small intestine. Since then she’s been living with this rare and chronic cancer that is controlled — but not cured.

One of the things that helps Julie cope is her volunteer work in the hospitality center at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. She says that it is one place that she feels comfortable talking openly about cancer. Gomez says it’s important to talk about her cancer, and the conversations in the Hospitality Center tend to be uplifting and positive.

“I volunteer once a week and talk about my experience with cancer, and it’s almost like therapy,” she says. “I think everyone needs to connect with people who’ve had similar experiences.”

Title says all. Please help?!
belithery – I know THAT, I mean the actual SHEET with ‘your time counts’ on it letting you log the hours you have for volunteering. A one-second Google check does not solve everything, do you think I haven’t looked already?
