Arnason
has been coming to the Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood House for just over a year
now where he is part of a Men’s Group and helped facilitate a Canning workshop.
A friend of his recommended that he come and explore the house due to their own
positive experiences with it. Since then, he has been faithfully attending all
the meetings he can.
The
Men’s Group is a weekly group that meets to discuss a variety of men’s issues, practice
skills such as cooking, yoga, and meditation, and enjoy the camaraderie that
coincides with it. Bishop also helped run a Canning workshop, which educated
members about emergency preparedness, food supply, and finances regarding food.
Through
volunteering, Arnason has been able to meet and learn about people from
different backgrounds and cultures and has made many new friends doing so. He
also believes that volunteering is beneficial because you get to experience
personal growth, contribute to the community, and overall make the world a
better place.
I agree volunteering has really helped me to grow personally and professionally. Thank you for sharing Bishop.
