Review for Global Links, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I enjoyed sorting medical supplies while talking with the other volunteers. In the case of the supplies that Global Links sends abroad, one person's trash really is another person's treasure. I did not realize that some hospitals abroad have so few supplies.

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

being shown a DVD about the organization's amazing work as inspiration before volunteering.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

provide more volunteer opportunities on Sundays.

Would you volunteer for this group again?

Definitely

For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?

A lot

Did the organization use your time wisely?

Very Well

Would you recommend this group to a friend?

Definitely

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

Even small tasks like sorting can make a huge difference.

How did this volunteer experience make you feel?

more knowledgeable about the situations of the "haves" and "have nots" in terms of hospitals in various countries

Role:  Volunteer & I helped sort sutures.
 

Review for J'Burgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

It is a nice way to meet other Jewish young professionals and graduate students. This organization meets a need for young professionals to have opportunities to pray, hang out, eat, and volunteer with peers. I enjoy the events with kosher food.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

that it plans events based on the preferences of the young adults who attend its programs and links with other organizations to keep costs down.

Ways to make it better...

the food was always kosher.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every six months

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009

Role:  Volunteer & I participated in a community service scavenger hunt to collect supplies for local charities.
