I serve on two non-profit boards: one as an executive, and another as a committee member and advisor. Outside of that, I volunteer several hours a month supporting marketing initiatives for a non-profit/community service that teaches advanced driving techniques for new/young drivers. In addition, I support Mackenzie Health, Sick Kids Hospital, and BC Children's on their fundraising initiatives and help onboard ballers to participate and support the "Drive to Smile" campaigns for kids who really need a smile on their faces. And finally, I volunteer as a mentor to new grads entering the workforce with a focus on women in technology.

Otherwise, I'm standing in line at the food bank and eagerly waiting to collect my welfare cheque on Wednesdays.

Oh damn, that's cool.

Any stories?

we were mostly urban search not mountain search, but we did assist in mutual aid with the mountain rescue teams when necessary. i did get dropped in via helicopter a few times but never hung off one to do a longline rescue or anything crazy like that.

one of my highlights was being on task when we found this lady. it wasn't my group but we were all in the area when one of the groups stumbled upon her.

The young tech bros here who treat life as some sort of RPG with experience points could learn a lot from you and this post.

Nobody wants to learn from a guy who posts on RS and collects a welfare cheque hahaha

Does Revscene count as volunteering? :D

I wish haha

Yeah it does, you provide mental help by reading comments from those in need

That's certainly one way to frame it! :)

I can't recall which thread it was, but a number of folks here said they come on to RS for mental therapy. Hey, if it works, then great! :)

Sorry guys, all retirements have been cancelled until further notice due to a very stupid, stupid man.
