When I was a teenager, I used to volunteer for the local library. It was a nice way to spend some time, discuss with the regulars about their latest readings, and feel useful to the local community.

What are your experiences?

    I work with my local sheriff department as a cadet of sorts. We are dedicated to volunteering around the county and doing stuff for the community. I really enjoy it because it helps people and makes people trust in law enforcement for the little things.

    I’ll agree with a lot of people. Police are in a rough patch that unfortunately has led to a lot of distrust between police and the community they serve. That is exactly why I love volunteering where I do. I am actively building connections in the department I plan on working in, and building connection with the community I eventually hope to serve.

    I am also going to be brought into my local volunteer fire department starting February, so I’m really excited to start that too.
