Midway reflection-Take Action Project- YWCA

For the take action project, I decided to volunteer at the YWCA. I think I found this choice to be best since this class deals with women and talking about women’s issues, I think this place to protect and help women fit best. When we first got the project, I didn't think it would be that hard to complete four hours. I thought I could just go to the organization, tell them I’d like to volunteer, and just complete all the hours within a matter of a day or two. I didn't find this to be the case, and the process was much more complex and took a lot longer than I thought. I had to email Adrian, and set up a date for an interview, complete a lot of paper work, and get my clearance from the DHS in order to finally start volunteering. I found the process to be very tedious because I only need to complete four hours, yet I had to do all this work and this interview, which took up a lot of time that I don’t have to spare. Even though I understand why they have this process and why it is important to complete the interview and turn in all of the paper work. I had to take time off work to get all of it completed. I finally went and put in some hours today, and it made all of the tedious work and everything I went through to finally get in worth it. This project is going great so far, I can’t wait to complete the rest of the time required, and hopefully keep volunteering there after this class is over!
