My Nonprofit Reviews

I volunteer with Shanti in the peer support program and have had the most amazing time. The training Shanti gives you is wonderful, a true exercise in empathy and it's inspiring and reassuring to meet volunteers who are so connected and in tune with themselves and others and want to build meaningful relationships. I was matched with my "client" (the individual I meet on a weekly basis) back in March, and have been meeting with them ever since. Providing support, whether it's practical or emotional, or just being a listening ear and a friend, has been one of the most beautiful and rewarding things I have ever done. I find deep joy in setting aside time to listen to my client and I have learned so much from them as well. I recommend this organization and the work they do to anyone who wants to spend their free time volunteering. This organization does exactly what it says it does and is comprised of wonderful, wonderful people.
