At the last minute, I decided to take a break from teaching English at Northeastern and start a Summer Staycation. It feels great to have the next eight weeks on my calendar wiped clean.However, instead of sitting around playing Wii all summer, I’m gonna throw my weight behind some volunteer organizations in my neighborhood.
Just the other day, I attended an orientation for 826 Boston and their storefront Greater Boston Bigfoot Research Center. I’m really excited about this, and I hope my teaching experience will come into play.
I’ve also contacted The Food Project about volunteering on their farm, but unfortunately they don’t need help until August because of a youth program, so I’m looking around for other Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) opportunities.
Bikes Not Bombs is also on my list of places I wanna join. I bought a bike from them a few months ago, and it’s become my main mode of transportation, but I need to learn more about bicycle maintenance & safety.
If anybody reading this knows of other organizations around Boston that may need help for the summer, please leave a comment and let me know.
Peace by Peace.
