I am a student and I am 16 years old.

A year and a half  ago, I became the volunteer of the  “Initiative Generation” Social Community. I have heard about this organization from my best friend. Telling the truth, I expected nothing extraordinary from this organization. But still I came to the decision of joining. “Maybe it will work” – I was thinking at that moment. And very soon this idea became reality.

This organization filled my life with a lot of positive emotions and new feelings. I have never before thought that helping people can give you so much excitement and satisfaction. I really liked my job especially helping people not for money, but for simple gratitude for the provided help.

Most of my friends are really surprised when I tell them that I am providing the organization with self-giving help in performing multiple charitable acts. The only thing I know that I am not doing it for money or for the purpose of becoming rich.

At the beginning, I had no idea about my role and mission in this organization. But now when I have already experienced all the charms and advantages of my job I will definitely never leave it. Every Friday we get together to take part in a workshop or training conducted by a psychologist. Now having a good meeting experience, I know how to act in different situations and moreover always find the way out of the dead ends. I also gained problem solving skills that i only used to dream of. This group gives me a huge amount of power and energy and I am really grateful to the founders of this organization whom I was honored to meet. The organization staff is well deserved and should be treated with respect.

I would like to express my gratitude for providing me with the opportunity of being the part of the volunteer team and making contributions to the development in community work.
