What if volunteering somewhere changed your life forever?
It might sound a little melodramatic, but that's exactly what happened for today's guest. After obtaining a Bachelor's Degree, a Master's Degree, and spending 7 years as an elementary school teacher, all it took was one specific volunteer position to change Amy's career trajectory. It was a cause she knew and loved and had enjoyed financially supporting. But when she started investing her time, something changed. She connected at a new level, grew in love for the work she was doing, and before she knew it, had filled out an application for employment.
Enjoy the final conversation in our Side Quest series as we discuss one last way to invest your post-graduation free time with purpose: volunteering. And though you might not change careers because of it, is there a meaningful opportunity out there inviting you to invest your time and talents for the good of others?
