I would like to volunteer at some point.
Have you found any volunteer options to be great or which volunteer options sound great?
So far I’m thinking an environmentally involved one. Like to do with recycling for example or conservation of wildlife.
Or perhaps one with animals thou I’m scared they might attack me
Join us at Students With Psychosis!
@laetitia (me), @zwolfgang, and @anon92220549 are all Student Leaders.
They’re doing internship opportunities and Cecilia, the founder, has schizoaffective disorder.
Find one that will hire you!
Maybe you could apply to places you are interested in like a zoo or something. They might consider it even if they have not got placements advertised for it. I think a lot of places wouldnt mind some free labour if they were offered it.
I volunteer at my cricket club. It’s not local anymore and it’s miles away in the city but it’s good. I interact with a lot of people and it gets me out of the house. Sporting and other clubs rely on volunteer labor. Maybe find something that interests you and try that.
The Humane Society takes in volunteers. The Libraries do too although it’s not as easy as it looks. There are volunteer jobs involving doing copying. There is VISTA jobs which pay you under minimum wage but gives you nice amounts of cash, or a scholarship which gives you some money for junior college (it doesn’t generally go very far for a regular college.) I once read of a volunteer job as simple as reading the water levels along rivers at various sites. And there’s volunteer weather observers with COCORAHs. But you have to buy your own rain gauge and computer.
I volunteered in a hospital before sz. I helped elderly get to their room or get to the correct waiting room.
In 2017 I volunteered for 5 months in the State archives. I had to digitalise ancient documents. Quit eventually to focus on studies.
i used to do clean up of the beach and the canals…it was good work.
I know some people that played music for the cancer patients in a hospital. But if it´s too emotionally demanding you can go to a nursing home and, in your case, for example draw pictures of them when they were young? Maybe…
Working at a community garden, working for the American cancer society, doing visitation at a hospice
When I wanted to learn Chinese I considered working for free at the Chinese restaurant.
Hey what about working at an art store?
I might be a student with psychosis in September
Hm working at an art store is not meaningful enuf for me. Don’t think I wanna go back into painting after all aswell just feeling apathetic towards it.
But thanks :))

If you like reading, go to reddit and check out the writing genre of your choice and try being a beta reader.
I’m really thinking about if I can stand to read unfinished work. I’m pretty fussy so I might give up on it.
