I signed up and inquired about an opportunity to volunteer (the closest one to my house- 10miles), and got an email response today that my time needed to complete the "give a day, get a day" program with them would be one week and 40 hours! Yikes...I don't think so. It's a great cause and I would love to help them, but realistically, I cannot help for 40 hours. Hopefully some more opportunities will open up close to me soon. I would be curious to know how many people actually sign up for that? And, it's a little misleading because it doesn't state the time needed to fulfill the obligation in the description on the website.
Sorry to hear how time consuming it would be to volunteer with that particular organization. That is rather shocking. I too hope that you will be able to find another opportunity, one that will fit your schedule as well as being close to home. 10 miles for me would be fine, but I know that some people would prefer a bit closer.
I was thinking..... (Oh no!
