- Taproot: Volunteering that Matters
I’ve recently begun work on my first Taproot Foundation volunteer project–in this case, working with a team of other professionals to conceive, design, write, and develop a website for the Urban Community Center of East New York.
This is certainly the most unique volunteer experience I’ve ever had. In the past, my volunteer work usually consisted of manual labor or just giving money. I did build a website once, a long time ago, for the Housing Works bookstore–but the project was my idea and I worked alone, with little client input; the site was a “success” by only the broadest definition (i.e., it existed where before there was nothing).
Taproot is one of those experiences that recalibrates your expectations of and enthusiasm for what a volunteer organization can offer.
