B ecause you are a unique person, it's hard to predict what the best synergy would be between us. O ur philosophy is that volunteer work must be of mutual benefit. If the work does not meet a need you feel within yourself, it may not be the right work for you right now. If you have experienced the death of a loved one within the last year, or if you are personally affected by life-threatening illness, we recommend that your first priority be to take care of yourself. Perhaps working with children, nature, the arts, or similar programs may be better for you than working with Growth House.
Many cities have volunteer centers that provide information and referral services.
Check your local telephone directory or call your information operator for help in finding volunteer opportunities near you. A bove all, take care of yourself with the same love and gentleness that you would give so freely to others. We do not have a full-time Director of Development and rely on volunteer support for grant writing. We would like to work with a volunteer who is fluently bilingual in English and Spanish to continue to improve our Spanish-language content. For examples of current Spanish services see our Spanish search engine interface and the Spanish professional conference .
