Have You Taken The Summer Work
http://www.sina.com.cn 2003/11/17 15:16  21世纪人才报

  In USAmany College students take summer work as volunteers for non-profit organization.But when they decide to spend the summer working for a non-profit organization must choose commitment and ideology over the bottom line.How about their feelings﹖Nowlet's go through the ideas of those students.

  Getting paid for something I'd have done for free

  ″I just finished my freshman year at collegethis whole year I have worked for volunteer and non-profit organizations and I am doing the same this summer too.

  Not only is it a worthwhile endeavouryou actually get to learn a lot about the society you are living inthings that you never knewbut always thought that you did. My job pays only$7.25/hourbut what matters more than the pay is the satisfaction that I get out of it. Putting it in a different waywhat's better than getting paid for something I would have done for free﹖″

  A blind blessing

  ″I worked at the American Council of the Blind in D.C.(哥伦比亚特区)this past summer. I was paidbut it is a non-profit organization. I am blind myselfand am a political science major interested in legislation/advocacy. This gave me the perfect experience. I was able to sit in on Senate hearingswrite articles/reviews for our monthly magazine″The Braille Forum″help organize and attend some of the 10th anniversary of the ADA paradeshelp initiate pedestrian safety signals for the blindattend and advocate at FCC rulingsespecially the one for descriptive video services for the blind on televisionand do typical office work. For more informationplease visit www.fcc.gov www.acb.org www.aapd.org.″

  A great experience.......

  ″I do volunteer workand I think it's really fun. I am a cheerleading coach(啦啦队队长) during football seasonand there isn't anything that I don't like about doing it. It's a wonderful experience and it makes you feel so great about doing something good for your community and not worrying about getting paid. And it especially helps to do something that you love to do and could do on a regular basis.″

  For love or money

  ″I once had a nonprofit job but it didn't last long because it wasn't paying my bills. Yeait's sweet but wait until that phone bill comes in.″The phone is that thing that's glued to your ear

  ″What's love got to do with it﹖″

  ″I love my volunteer job.I work at the Free Clinic of Greater Cleveland in a youth theater troupe called'What's Love Got To Do With It﹖'theatre troupe.we travel to schoolsyouth centers'the Y'etc...We perform short skits on social issuessometimes we have the audience do role plays.I meet kids from all over North East Ohio.I love itI've been involved since the10th gradeI'm a senior nowcollege freshman after august 11th.If your in the area their holding auditions leave a message at216590-acts.″

  Earning much more than money

  ″I have spent the last few years working with as well as working for non-profit/volunteer agencies. I have met more dedicatedkind-hearted people than I could have elsewhere. Because voluntary work often gets a bad rapit's not worthwhile workotherwise you would get paidI found everyone I spoke with very receptive to helping me getsintosthe field.

  They saw that I was interested in these altruistic matters even without getting paidand thus were more certain of my integrity and dedication. I didn't have to organize that eventbut I did.I would love to work with the non-profit communitycertainly funds even within the agency are tightbut the programs are no doubt of extreme importance.″
