Feedback from South Dakota Volunteers

Here are some of the emails we have received from volunteers about their experiences in South Dakota.

"[The staff at the project] were some of the nicest people I have met in a long time! They instantly made me feel welcome, both the volunteers and the staff. As I got into the swing of things I fell in love with Eagle Butte! The work is challenging, but if you go in with the right attitude you are guaranteed to learn so much from your experience."

"As a volunteer, I took part in a variety of projects. I spent a lot of time with the kids, which of course was incredibly rewarding, challenging, and fun. Volunteers are sort of encouraged to bring their backgrounds and skills to the activities with the kids."

"Anyone who loves kids will love working there. I think it is really an amazing volunteer opportunity because the volunteers are just so valued there and they are so essential to everyday operation. There is a lot of freedom for creativity in the job and you get a diverse array of experience in many areas. The center is very efficient about using the various talents of the volunteers."

"I felt welcomed not only by the staff but also the children very fast. The friendly, open and obliging work atmosphere makes the whole team work as a unit, where the single contribution is much appreciated."
