<p>My boss has an attitude towards me (and I have always been nice). She keeps adding hours to my shift schedules so she can get free work with less money being spent, she is downright disrespectful to me. </p>
<p>If only the library wasnt my only source of volunteering near me... </p>
<p>This would have all been better if I was paid... But I am taking all this crap even while working for free.</p>
<p>a) Speak up. Tell her you can’t work that much. I imagine she’s doing this while you’re standing by in silence.</p>
<p>b) Why volunteer? It’s not necessary to get into college…</p>
<p>My boss told me I looked like a whore who should get molested. 
There’s a reason I’m not back again! You can always find something else for EC.</p>
<p>don’t volunteer.</p>
<p>I sincerely doubt that the library is the only place for you to volunteer. If your boss is miserable to be around, then by all means stop working there, but I am sure there are plenty of other options. If you can’t think of any off the top of your head, give some of these a thought:</p>
<p>-volunteer to babysit for some overworked parents for free for a few hours (maybe one night every few weeks?)
-find out through your school or another one nearby if there are students in need of a peer tutor
-volunteer at a park cleanup day or if you don’t have one, contact your town gather a few friends, and spend some time on your own cleaning up the park
-if there is a nonprofit with offices in your town, volunteer to stuff some envelopes of do other administrative work
-if your town has a parks and rec department, contact them and see what sort of summer camps, classes, or youth programs they offer and see if you can volunteer with those</p>
<p>So see, if you put yourself out there and seek out opportunities, there are always people who would love your help! Unless you live in a town without overworked parents, schools, nonprofits, or parks…then it might be a little more difficult ;)</p>
<p>Thank you sweetchemistry!</p>
