Using Volunteering as an opportunity for growth
When I started as a VISTA at SCL in April 2009, I had no idea it would be one of the biggest and most exciting years the program would have. Some organizations wouldn’t have been as aggressive and optimistic in their expansion efforts, as SCL has been! With all the program changes that were made during the second half of 2009, it got pretty hectic around here, but I don’t think anyone ever lost sight of the ultimate goal of the expansion efforts: to get more deserving kids in braces.
Now that it has been a year since I started, I can see the benefits we’ve reaped from so much work – we’ve already approved and assigned over 100 kids this year alone, and it’s only April! I’m very thankful to have had such a wonderful experience working here. I have been able to see the daily commitment, energy, enthusiasm, and overall niceness of the staff – and as a newcomer it was very pleasant to come to work every day! This is a fast-paced work environment with a steep learning curve, but luckily everyone at SCL helped me learn how the program works and gave me the necessary training and tools to be successful in my position.
