New Volunteer Opportunity for Me
I have decided that I want to work with the Best Buddies program. I have two ideas; one is to be a buddy to someone with an intellectual disability, who hopefully likes to write. I have a plan to collaborate on poetry, stories, and/or whatever their (and my) mutual interests are. They have a program which pairs artist with intellectually disabled folks. My second idea is to create a zine with my poetry based on visual art created by people in the program. They’ll get a half the money; I’ll keep the other half. It’s my way of helping their budget shortfall, while earning money for myself at the same time.
