My Name is Tim & I was one of the first scholarship recipients at the Lint Center. Following my scholarship award in 2008 & in hopes of giving back, I became a volunteer. I have been volunteering ever since. My experience has been tremendous & I would invite any & all-prospective volunteers to reach out to us. As an all-volunteer force, with NO paid staff, we do what we do because we enjoy it & are pleased to make an impact. @Benjamin–We appreciate your feedback – thank you. We are updating our volunteer positions on our Website to ensure consistency. We do request resumes. The reason is very simple: we want to understand your talents, skills & abilities so we can match your strengths with projects that you can excel at. The last thing we want to do is ask a volunteer to help on something they really don't enjoy. We work hard to ensure a strong fit between our needs & the interests of our volunteers align. Our volunteers are our very lifeblood – as we are all volunteers!

I'll admit the idea sounds interesting (the company's goal) but two things bother me: 1. I've not been able to find a specific position I had hoped to apply for and it looks like some positions listed on this site aren't listed on Lint Center's main site. 2. Could someone explain why I need to fill out a Resume to volunteer? Isn't the point of volunteering to "soup up" your resume? I could understand applications maybe (for background checks if they really want or need to know) but a resume? If someone is skilled in something but wasn't able to get a job in that field (due to not being able to afford going to college), how can they show their skills via volunteering? I don't know about this.

Never heard a response from them, which is too bad because I have great skill they could use.
