chinn and i volunteered for the youth drop in. she found this through hands on portland which is a a great resource to find volunteering opportunities. the youth drop in happens every monday and thursday. a group of volunteers gets together and make a hot meal for 11-24 year old youths. it is a place to relax and a chance to meet new people. there are no strings, no questions, no judging, no preaching, no drugs, no alcohol, no weapons, and no drama.
i really enjoyed it. chinn and i have done other volunteering together but this time you get to see the people who are directly affected by what you are doing. it was fun to chat with some of these kids. we even got a mini trumpet concert by a young guy.
