Its a good church to go to great pastor and we go the extra mile as a youth group to do more for our community and we always had a great time doing it. Because in the end it was well worth all our troubles we had and it helped us delevop as a person to do the better thing in life.

The most important thing I learned from volunteering at the Shriners hospital was how to keep a positive attitude. Whether it's life or other people bringing you down, it's how you handle what's being thrown at you that counts. Having a good attitude in the work force will always come to a positive outcome.

I am seeking employment to gain experience in an office setting. Meanwhile, I will be starting my first volunteer duty on Thursday. Wish me luck!

I never had an interview and it was volunteering, not a paid job.

I learned about it because the organization banks at my bank. BYA provides leadership training and career counseling to kids and also works with incarcerated youth. They needed a new treasurer. It was a natural fit.

It all started one day when a man came in begging for a haircut a homeless man. He said that he had a job interview and that he did not have money for a haircut I was working on a Saturday. I told him to come back at the end of the day and I would cut his hair for free it made me feel very rewarded and got in telling how he lived and how he came to be homeless. It was very rewarding and I would do it anytime because I love it since then we have done many homeless people's haircuts and the Great Clips Corporation as a whole should get on board with it because there are many many many homeless people in downtown where I work and everywhere else. And they deserve the opportunity to get a job just like we do.!
