Volunteering Experience

             
                Hey Everyone !!!! I want to share this information as part of my passion toward helping people through my volunteer work. Enjoy and make sure you like, share and comment as well. 
                Volunteering is my greatest passion possible for various reasons. I have a long history with volunteering. I was supposed to start volunteering since I was in high school as a requirement of the National Honor Society; however, I was unable to do so at that time.

                Forward a few months after I graduated from high school, around 2013 I was able to formally start my first volunteering gig ever. It was at the USF Botanical Gardens, and I volunteered in the Butterfly garden for about four consecutive months. I attended their spring festival and enjoyed it for two days in a row. After this position on the weekends, I transferred to the VA Hospital and volunteered as café volunteer then in the escort department for 2 & ½ years, and finally I am now at the Shriners Hospital for Children since April of 2017.

I am an office assistant in the development department. I am in charge of translating documents in Spanish and I make phone calls for interviews and any other kind of pertinent information. I have had the privilege of attending some of their events such as the GALA awards from Enfoque TV. I usually attend my shift on Fridays from 1pm to 5pm. I advocate for Shriners Hospital for Children with a passion, and in our current drive for tabs campaign, I have been able to obtain four different locations to participate and help the kids raise the funds through the collection of tabs.      

I have signed up for the volunteering events sponsored and held in association with the school as well, and at my local new church, I have an event I am adamantly promoting and will be participating in as well as a vendor with my own table or booth post. Anywhere I go, I seek for the opportunity to be of a helping hand for those in need of assistance or guidance.
