Thanks satan

I would love to use my knowledge that I know how to help people but thw biggest issues is:

1. Finding who needs that help other than word of mouth and it’s usually people who are lazy (from what I found so far)

2. Even small stuff requires a bit of money to be able to fix. I’m still paying off my student loans, medical bills, car payment, etc. I can spend about $50-$100 per week to help with small supplies here and there but I’d also like to save up for a house some day.

He is a visionary, he just wants things to happen and we’re left standing around trying to figure out how to make it work.

We’re a siding construction company. I don’t know if I’m allowed to share it on the site here. But I can send you a link to who we are what what we’re planning to do next year.

When I started here that was a huge selling point for me. They told me about this year off to do community service and I was like, that’s beyond crazy. But as we talked about it each week and started seeing the numbers add up, it’s insane how easy it is to make it happen.

What the hell. I feel like actual hardwork should be worth way more than just money.

Oh my gosh, I’m surprised that I didn’t even think of this! This is toss up between Peace Corp and this! Honestly, I’m more interested in this but I’d hate to do this only for a year or so. I’d feel like I’d get sucked into it. Thank you, I’ll see if this is something I can qualify for.

That’s fair. I’ve done some small charity work, like food bank, packaging clothing/food, help local places via habitat for humanity. I really enjoyed those but that was more because it was with people I knew. I don’t mind meeting people, so I’m sure the experience will be fine either way.

I don’t have any amazing skills. I’m just a gamer and a fantasy nerd. I’ve worked at an ace hardware for 10 years so I have some home improvement knowledge but I never owned my own house so I only have knowledge of how to do things, not hands on experience.

Honestly, having both kinds of charities would be ideal. Being able to help globally and Sri have time for local stuff would be ideal, I just don’t know enough about all this and when I reach out to these big places for help, they just want me to join them instead of trying to help me find something suitable.

I’m in an ad min in my current job, handling around 10 mil+ revenue, I’m not sure if that counts towards large scale contracts. But since I’ve got the experience, I’ll definitely reach out and see what comes of it.

True, I didn’t think of that. However, my boss is extremely generous. Our whole team is getting a year off to do charity work for a whole year. So our salaries are paid for the year and during this time, the only thing he’s asking is to help others. Honestly it’s a bit overwhelming trying to figure out what I can do. I wasn’t too worried about not having anything to show for it but I guess I should?

I really appreciate this break down. I’ll have to talk to my team and bring this up during our next weekly meeting. Hopefully the others will get some ideas out of this.

I saw that it was a 2 year program but when I dug in a bit more, they have 3-12 options. I was looking at some 7 month programs.

Thank you so much! I looked into charity explorers and I don’t think I would be too much of a help for them.

However, the peace corp is something I’ve never heard of and this seems amazing. I was looking for something local, but this is too amazing to pass up on. Depending on how much time I have in between doing this, I might just volunteer for something local on my own time. Thank you again!
