Voices of Volunteers

"Are there programs that are willing to pay for my health insurance while I volunteer?"

 "What is it really like to live with 8 other people in one house?"

"What if I don't get along with the people I work with?" 

"Do I get to go home for vacation?"
 

So what is it really like to be a full-time volunteer? We asked several former volunteers to give us the brutal honest truth about everything from "affording" to volunteer to the funniest thing that happened to the worst thing about living in community. 

If you want an honest picture of the volunteer experience, read on to see what these formers were willing to share about their experiences.
