Why did you choose to volunteer?

I actually love gardening and I love being outside and I haven’t been able to since being here.  At my house my destressing method at home is to go outside and do yard work so this a fantastic opportunity to do that

 

What have you enjoyed most during your time as a volunteer?

Probably meeting the volunteer group.  They’re very nice, and very kind.

 

How much of an impact do you feel your volunteering has made?

I think a decent impact.  It seems that the majority of people involved in the volunteer group are a little older so I don’t want them to bend over and break their backs or anything.

 

What would tell a student who is thinking about volunteering?

Try it out, why not!

 

How would you sum up your volunteering experience in 1 word?

Pleasant!
