It's rewarding to see little changes in someone when you are working towards helping them get back into the community.
Winning Volunteer of the Year Award from CSV was a real confidence boost - I didn't realise the impact I could have. I seemed to adapt to my role naturally, despite being nervous at first.
It feels great to see the girl I first worked with is now going to college and a volunteer herself. I want to continue developing my mentoring skills and working on getting people back into society, perhaps as a probation officer.
