I teach swimming to kids..So many kids and I try to give each of them my best.. To care equally. This is not always possible; in fact it probably never is. But I believe I will generally enter their young psyches as a fun and caring influence. And of course, Some of my kids are just ADOREABLE!. Strange to find this at my age.

I'm a docent at our local municipal Conservatory (botanical garden). Everybody calls me with their computer problems. I started tutoring with friends' high school students but they're all grown up now. And I have friends who have personal problems and I listen to them.

You would make me nervous as all get-out, sorry.

I try to be a good neighbor and organize get togethers esp at holiday time many I have met here ( in the short time living here)have no family around. I volunteer in a dance group that visits hospitals, nursing homes ect where we do a dance routine to bring a smile. Also at my daughters school ( she’s a teacher ) and I plan on at some point going to the VA Hospital and being a volunteer but right now I’m working to much. .

This is tough and I’m going to sound awful, but I don’t mean to...it’s just me. I don’t like to talk about how I help people; it sounds boastful to me. And that’s not why I do it, for kudos.

I help people by learning about them and finding out what they need. It seems you are looking for a more mainstream dating site. Also, as an open book, answering some of the questions people are firing your way would be good Hope you find the someone special you’re searching for

I was a hockey coach and a soccer coach for a few seasons. I was a volunteer in politics for some social democrats, some ecologists and for some Quebec separatists. Once in a while, I do some computer support, some copy writing, copy proofing, some graphic arts for people around me and for the causes I care about. I was recently elected treasurer for the union at my job.

I made this banner for an atheist group in Montreal

As a volunteer, I register high school students to vote each September and April.

With fellow Democrats, organize local demonstrations against Trump and Republicans. Get people fired up to vote.

Vote Republicans out of office!

People come to me for medical advice , since I retired from medicine I do what I can I also work with the democrats to defeat republicans

I tell them what they need to hear, not what they want to be told.

(By the way, interesting necklace. Not to be unwelcoming, but you do know what site this is?)

I keep an extra pair of jumper cables to give to anyone that needs a jumpstart.

Do you give readings? What sort of help are you giving?

Clients and hearings .. what help is it you are giving?

I noticed the cross around your neck. Are you Catholic, or does it have sentimental value?

As far as what I do to help people, I prefer to keep the good deeds I do, to myself. I don't do them for recognition.

@pattisabby

The cross around your neck begs the question:

As a Christian, why are you on Agnostic.com?

Since 2006 as a volunteer, I have been helping low income, first generation students write essays for college entry and scholarships. One of my best success stories is Brenda, who won $269,445 in scholarships in 2016.

The first girl I mentored is an engineer at Puget Sound Shipyards. Yulipa, a Russian immigrant, speaks five languages and is a trail runner. I stay in touch with young people I mentored.

In May 2018 I won the first Scholarship Rockstar award. In June, I took three young women I previously mentored on a short hike around Icicle Gorge, WA.
