So true! Getting involved with people...well, you just never know what will happen. Two of my job positions surfaced from my volunteerism.
In the first instance, an employer approached me to consider working for her. In the other, my volunteer work helped create the need for a paid person at the helm of the organization and the consensus on the volunteer board was I was the person for the job!
Volunteerism yields blessings but sometimes benefits one is not even seeking!
I love hearing from people who volunteer. Thank you for sharing your tremendous experiences!
