Hello everyone,

As my position revolves around service and creating volunteer opportunities, I thought it would be nice for me to create weekly service notes. These service notes will be varying in content including tips, articles, and resources all related to volunteering and service learning. My hope is to use the service notes as an opportunity to examine why we volunteer, recognize exceptional service, and prompt discussions on service. I hope you enjoy my weekly updates and participate in some enlightening and delightful conversation on the blog or with friends on your own time.

As part of the very first Service note here is an interesting article on volunteering from the New York Daily News to consider:

“Volunteering could add years to your life, may improve mental health: study“

Thanks,

Jake Pollock your VISTA
