Last Saturday I began what will hopefully become a long-term commitment of volunteering. It wasn’t a big thing but a good warm-up to get me started. I worked for the Brees Gridiron Classic selling t-shirts with my friend Steve. The day was spent at Qualcomm Stadium (where the Chargers play) and involved eight youth football teams from both Pop Warner Football and American Youth Football conferences. About 2000 people showed up for the day and overall it seemed to be a great start to what hopefully turns into a strong tradition for San Diego youth sports.
In addition, I have a meeting tonight to meet with the Outreach Director for the San Diego Discovery Center. They are looking for someone to help out in their computer center either tutoring or working at the help desk. I’ve been looking for something to volunteer for related to computers and have had a difficult time up until now finding something. I’ve spoken on the phone and exchanged emails however this will be my first time stopping by. I’m interested to see what the position holds. Hopefully this will be something I can do once a week for a few hours.
