I have worked as an unpaid volunteer at many places such as the Broad street run marathon and an animal shelter. While volunteering at the Marathon, I handed out waters and the gear needed for those to those who participated in the run. During my time in the animal shelter, I attended and dedicated my time to animals by assisting with basic duties such as cleaning cages, providing my company to the animals, training , walking the dogs, playing with the cats, etc.
