Review for Global Links, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I find Globallinks to be the perfect organization to give my time to. When people get stressed at work about getting a job done, I like to remind them that "we're not savin' babies here." Volunteering at Globallinks, we really ARE. And the waste of perfectly good things makes me bonkers--Globallinks saves babies with stuff that would otherwise go to waste. It doesn't get any more perfect than that.

The organization is experienced at handling volunteers efficiently. When we arrive, there is already a task set up for us, the supplies are ready, the signage is up-to-date, and the staff person working that night understands what needs to be done and can explain it well (and patiently). This helps me feel like I'm actually accomplishing something, not just standing around waiting.

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

The satisfaction of having actually done something beneficial.

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

Have more evening/weekend volunteer opportunities.

Role:  Volunteer & We date-sort supplies, label, and box up for shipment to medically-needy countries.
