Centennial Olympic Park

I have fun volunteering at Centennial Olympics Park, you always meeting new people and something new about Atlanta every time you volunteer:)

Too often I found myself pinned behind a desk pushing merchandise for the park. It lacked a personal touch with guest. If you left the desk (even within the small complex while helping guest) you might get reported if a staff member happened by. I found this a bit hypocritical since occasionally I went through the park and found the desk empty with merchandise unlocked while staff members were within site, but outside the complex meeting with others. I have no doubt this would have been unacceptable from a volunteer. I found that expectations could change from week to week or from one staff member to another. I personally felt a bit unappreciated despite giving up MANY weekends and holidays to volunteer. On a more positive note, the Volunteer Coordinator was very organized which was a breath of fresh air compared to many organizations.
