[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 264330, member: 1545"] My favorite volunteer job was a 'peer counselor' at a local crisis pregnancy center. We spent 40 hours getting 'crisis counseling' training. I met with women who needed PG tests, were considering abortion/adoption/parenting. We also had a parenting program whereby we 'mentored' women who had babies, young children. I did it for 8 years. The most significant thing it did for me personally was to nudge me to get my degree so that I could do professionally what I loved doing on a volunteer basis. It confirmed in my own mind what I wanted to do when I grew up. ;) I am a strong believer in mentoring. It amazes me how few people have good support systems. You have much to offer Jog! Share it with others!! [/QUOTE]
