I volunteered at HOPE in Charleston, Illinois. While there I learned a lot about what they do. They provide housing, counseling, and a hotline to call. They work with women who are in domestic violent relationships, abuse and things of that nature. We were not able to work with clients since we are not trained, however, we helped organize and move things to storage that has been donated to them. They also have summer activities for children. Today, the children were making stepping stones to put in the walk way to the playground. HOPE is an awesome place to volunteer and they are a big help to this community. They help families and women and children. I really enjoyed this experience and it opened my eyes to something new. They also have internships available, which is a great opportunity and something I will keep in mind.
