Answer 2

Volunteered (room mother) 6yrs. elementary school my sons were going to. The boys were very happy to see me there every day, it made them proud. When the boys became teens I  became a volunteer juvenile probation officer for the state department in our town for 3yrs. It was to help me to educate myself in how to deal with teenagers. But it was a lasting  rewarding  experience   that later helped me become a corrections officer after my children left home. Volunteer work can be beneficial to landing a very good paying job and  reads well on a resume. Thank you for asking this question it give us volunteers a chance to shine.

Answer 4

I used to help run a small toddler group in my local church.  My son was 3 at the time and I used to take him along with me, so it fitted in nicely with being a mum and helping others at the same time.

It was very rewarding.  We met 3 mornings a week and I got to know other mums and their children and provided a much needed service in our area at the same time.
