I am interested in learning about what volunteer work people do, how they got started in it, what it involves and what they like about it or not like about it?

i volunteer at the local library each week as a Justice of the Peace. When I retired I saw an ad in the local paper and replied. i have been there for nearly three years and love it. The people you meet while providing this service are varied in nationalities and, professions and they are grateful for the service we provide. The staff also are very friendly and it is an absolute pleasure to go each week . I love it!
