I have my first interview today with Big Brother Big Sister today. Not exactly sure how the organization works but I’m pretty excited about it. I’ve been thinking of doing something like this for quite some time and think this would be a great way to get my foot in the door for orphanage work/foster care. Not really sure where i want to take this but I’m sure the path will be clear when the time comes. I’m also interested in heading up social media campaigns for organizations like this. I think it would be pretty cool to document/blog/vlog/flikr my way through this whole affair and it starts tonight so here goes!!
I was initially thinking that why do I need to go through an organization to do this and instead help out a friend in need who has a kid. I do however want to understand more fully from the ground level up how these organizations run. I think this is the best way to go. I guess I’ll know a little bit better after tonight. If anyone has any experience in this realm I’d love to hear your responses.
Awesome blog! I had the idea to do the same thing, only I was going to start from the time of being matched (which hasn’t happened yet). It’s definitely an experience worth blogging about. I was matched several years ago and wish I had done it back then. I since moved away and had to end that match, but I’m looking forward to my new one! I posted the RSS for your blog on my BBBSA blog. I hope more Bigs blog about their experiences!
Thanks for the comment on my blog. I do love Tweetdeck but I hate having to login and out just to navigate between my two accounts which is the only reason I prefer Twirl. Maybe tomorrow they’ll have a new gadget that will be just what I’m looking for
