I have been working at NSP for a little over a month now, and my experience so far has been incredibly rewarding. Every Tuesday and Thursday (my volunteer days) I look forward to knowing that my day will focus on helping others better their lives rather then my own. At times, I admit it can be overwhelming. A client will come in with what seems like a million different issues, all seemingly impossible to sort out in the little time that the client and I will spend together. However, taken slowly hour by hour, day by day, week by week, I have seen how NSP succeeds in helping even clients requiring large amounts of help in many different areas. Whether it be helping people search for jobs, create resumes, or find shelter, I have helped people reach their goals and brought them closer to the resources they need to achieve better lives. Today a woman came in needing help to renew her visa. At first, I thought how could I help her? I don't know anything about immigration. After using the Legal Guide NSP provides, the nspedia website, and a legal contact Nathan provided me with, I was able to find the organizations that could help this woman. Hopefully she will be able to get her visa renewed and it will be due partly to my efforts, Nathan's, and the other volunteers at NSP who have contributed to the vast resources and plethora of knowledge that the organization has. I can't wait for Tuesday when I get to come back to NSP and help more people better their lives as the woman I helped today.
