River Gallery School of Art

State: Vermont Date: 09/02/16 When I arrived in Brattleboro, I had one thing on my mind: finding somewhere to volunteer. However, as is usually the case, the place found me. While walking down Maine Street, a lady saw my sign: I learned her name was Jennifer and she suggested I volunteer at the River Gallery School of Art. I decided to take her advice and headed over there. When I arrived I was greeted warmly by Donna and Joslin who were eager to learn about my trip. I told them what I was doing and how I volunteer in each state to make the worldRead More →

State: Florida Date: 03/23/16 Before I begin this story, we’ll have to go back a few days.

Plenty of Pit Bulls collaborates with local and national organizations to rehabilitate andRead More →

First I went to the police station and got my fingerprints done to finish up my concealed carry permit forms. After that I headed to the library to make a copy of the receipt fromRead More →

State: New Hampshire Date: 06/05/16 Volunteer: www.gotlunchlaconia.org In each state I find a place to volunteer to make the world a better place wherever I go. Some of the time, I look for volunteering opportunities  online (like I did in Maine with volunteering through workaway.info at a homestead), but more often the places find me. This past Sunday (July 3rd, 2016), I went to the Congregational Church of Laconia, United Church of Christ. It was suggested by Kelly and Sean, a couple who gave me a ride into Laconia.  I met some wonderful people there and was given the opportunity to share a recent story of God working in myRead More →
