Pro Bono

I have dabbed into volunteer work throughout my life, but recently I have had more requests than usual from a couple different non-profits.

My first volunteering job was in 7th grade when I joined "Friends Helping Friends," I don't know if any of you have heard of this, honestly I don't even know if they still do it anymore. Regardless, my job was to mentor a child picked by the school and spend one hour a week with them doing whatever I wanted. I wore a purple shirt with a yellow logo and me and my "Friend" would have some recreational fun which usually included doge-ball.

Now that I have a degree and a bit of experience under my belt, my knowledge seems to bring in some requests. But I am more than happy to be a part of something good.

I have to admit although I love my job sometimes I feel as though I am not helping the world or making it better, I am simply putting together catalogs to sell clothing. But working on the side for those who do make a difference gives more meaning to my career path. I feel much more balanced and fulfilled. So, if anyone has any great non-profits that might need some graphic design expertise... have them shoot me an e-mail and I would love to see if I can help them out. (schultz.hailey@gmail.com)
