What volunteer position/positions are you serving in?
I am the Web Page Tech for CHAP’s websites.
What drew you to serve?
I saw the position opening in one of CHAP’s monthly newsletters [CHAP E-News] and I felt led to apply to fill it. Being a homeschool mama and a Christian, I view CHAP’s goals of supporting homeschool families as a mission field here at home, same as I view any role I take on in my home church or our homeschool co-op.
What do you enjoy about where you serve?
The creativity involved, the mission of equipping other homeschool families with the information and resources CHAP puts forth month after month, and the use of my skills are all rewarding. But I think for me, most of all, is that it aligns with each of the priorities in my life—serving God in some small capacity here while homeschooling my children. Getting an early glimpse of the articles each month is a nice side benefit too!
What would you tell others who are considering volunteer opportunities with CHAP?
People choose to volunteer with organizations for different reasons. For some, it is the opportunity to give back to their community; for other people, the reason is to develop or use their skills in a volunteer position; and still others, it is because of how passionate they are about the organization’s goals. For me, all of the above are true. Regardless of which is your WHY, volunteering with CHAP can be a very rewarding experience. I would tell them to apply today!
