Review for Shepherds Heart Ministries Inc, Jonesborough, TN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I began by building various shelves and cabinets to help the boys keep organized. Shortly after, the Rotary Club of Ajijic and Langley, BC, donated funds to purchase high-end carpentry power tools. This resulted in me becoming the director of the workshop, a volunteer position. The workshop now fulfills two objectives, train the boys in carpentry skills and build projects to help offset operational expenses in Hope House. Now I have extended my responsibilities to plan for future projects, such as the aquaponics system and transition house. This heavy involvement have earned me a place on the Hope House board of directors.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Every aspect of its operation.

What one change could this group make that would improve your volunteer experience?

There is a tremendous need to change the lives of boys like those in Hope House. Having more funds available to meet the needs to change the boys lives and giving them hope for a better life.

Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)

Vastly improved my carpentry skills, exposure to a wide range of people who also want to give back.

How did this volunteer experience make you feel?

Blessed beyond belief

Role:  Volunteer & Director of the workshop, board of directors, treasurer.
