Marta: What kind of volunteer job do you have?
Haru: I work at a nature museum. I teach children’s groups about animals, birds and plants. Last month, I helped some students write a report about the birds they didn’t know.
Marta: That’s interesting. Where did you hear about this job?
Haru: I found it through United We Serve. It’s a way for us to volunteer in our own communities (社区). There’s a great website for volunteers. Go to www.serve.gov.
Marta: Is it just for young people?
Haru: No, it isn’t. There are chances for everyone!
Marta: I have an idea for a volunteer project. What should I do?
Haru: Before you start, you should put your idea on the site and ask for volunteers. Many people are volunteering these days. And more people are going to volunteer in the future. In America, there is a law in which student volunteers can get money for their education. Besides, the number of older people rockets. That means we are going to have more older volunteers, too.
Marta: Fine. What do you want to say to other young men?
Haru: ▲
Marta: A good call! Thank you for your time, Haru.
Haru: My pleasure.

【推荐1】During the 2021 World Wheelchair Curling Championship (冰壶锦标赛) in Beijing, people saw many student volunteers. And Wang Yijia was one of them.
“Our work is tiring but enjoyable,” said Wang, the leader of a volunteer team. He is a college student in Beijing and he has spent 450 hours doing volunteer work.
Wang and his teammates needed to clean the ice and the wheelchairs of the players carefully all the time. They also needed to clean the curling stones (冰壶) before giving them to the players. There were 16 stones for an eight-game match, and that meant volunteers needed to clean the stones over 100 times. A curling stone weighed nearly 20 kg, so it was ▲ for volunteers to do the cleaning work for hours.
Besides, the volunteers needed to know the rules of the match and be able to talk with foreign players and referees (裁判员) in English. “Although we are tired every day, we learn a lot and can always feel the warmth from others,” Wang said.
“Some players gave us candies after the match,” Wang told others. “Others said thanks to us and told us to take a break.”
“This is a great experience for me as a college student,” Wang added.
