I am having a GREAT day. Truly, truly great. I went to a luncheon today with lots of other social service providers and it made me cry. Just knowing that there are other people out there who dedicate their lives to helping others with no regard to how much they are paid sincerely touches my heart. It's not about the padding of the resume or climbing to the top or obtaining a higher salary. We do what we do because WE CARE.
So I ask you, GCers, who works for a social service agency or nonprofit or NGO or is an educator or an advocate or...? How many of you get paid to (for the most part) provide a community service? And, trust me, I use the words "get paid" VERY loosely, lol.
What do you do? How long have you done it? In what ways is it rewarding? Do you still do (unpaid) community service?
I'll be back to post my answers. Talk amongst yourselves; discuss!!
