This is a great opportunity to volunteer just 15 minutes before and after a Mass you are already attending, while you get some good exercise and a bit of fresh air!
A local man who likes to observes Mass at the Church on State Street in New London needs a walking buddy to go with him when the weather is nice. This is a great way to volunteer your time for something that really means a lot to him and hopefully to you too.
Requirements to be a great volunteer include:
a desire to help others;
a pleasant demeanor;
a good reading/speaking voice;
average reading skills;
organizational or planning abilities;
a good driving record;
a clear criminal history;
two references
