When you volunteer you will make a difference in your life, you will make a difference in another person's life and add experience to your resume!
I started volunteering with the Yellow Ribbon Alliance Lower St. Croix Valley because my father was a veteran and as a single mother I could related to the stress of having to do it all alone. I wanted to help out others who like my father served to keep peace in the World. I wanted to help their families when they got deployed to another part of the World.
When I signed up I did not know how this would impact my career nor was that the reason I volunteered. However, this spring the organization I work for decided they wanted to become a Yellow Ribbon Company and they selected me to be on the steering committee because of my experience with my local Yellow Ribbon.
Both opportunities have provided me with a chance to develop my leadership skills, work with community government, military groups, the media, plan events, help other groups and help the individuals. I am truly grateful for the experience and chance to serve a veteran.
