Proud of our Volunteer Work
Back in January of this year, we decided to start tracking our volunteer hours and now that we are nearing the end of 2015, we are so proud to report that all tracks of OPI have a combined total of contribute 2,108 hours of service through individual commitments and with our community service.
As mentioned in the past, being of service is a huge part of OPI and relates to so many aspects of the program. Aside from having our OPI community be a part of the larger Los Angeles community, it really helps our participants to gain a sense of purpose, build confidence, experience new things, maintain a commitment, and a sense of accomplishment. Keep reading to see how volunteering can work within the departments to serve other purposes.
- Career and Volunteer Department: Participants can obtain experiences to add to a resume as well as obtain much needed references. Participants can explore job and/or career paths.
