On April 3, I attended a PCRC Volunteer Appreciation Reception. It was a lovely event where PCRC (Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center) took the time to honor all the volunteers that makeup their organization. I thought it was really cool to learn about some of these people who have been volunteering since the 80s, which I think is just amazing. Volunteering takes a lot of time and effort and is not easy to do. You also don't get paid for any of your work so volunteers are usually people who are doing their job because they love to do it. Another great thing was that I got to see students from SSFHS actually get honored for their work with the emerging leaders project program and other youth from different schools. It was really interesting to see that juxtaposition of people who are getting older and have served hundreds of hours with PCRC and youth who are just getting started. It was also really interesting to hear people's experiences with helping the San Mateo community move forward through PCRC's various projects.
