Once Or Twice A Year I Will Volunteer As A Chaperon Of A Childrens Holiday Camp - Tumblr Posts
3 months ago
I don’t like when people act like volunteering your time for charity or to help others is equivalent to, like, being exploited at a job. Like yes, in general pay people fairly for their work, of course, but also when you’re part of a community sometimes people have to step up and do the right thing for free, and when they choose to do it to be kind (or because they enjoy it) that’s wildly different than being underappreciated by a corporation.

there’s definitely a difference
once or twice a year i will volunteer as a chaperon of a children’s holiday camp
which is practically 24/7 responsibility
and people will be like
‘oh god but you get paid don’t you’
and i’ll be like ‘well not really’
and they will shake their heads in disbelief
and i’m there like
it’s okay. honestly
i enjoy it
yes it’s exhausting too but i believe it to be important work and i enjoy it
meanwhile my internship where i have to work for three months is not paying me one cent
and it feels totally different to me
