Why do you want to volunteer?

I’m eager to volunteer so that I can shift my focus outside of myself. I feel there is so much I can learn from service, and I see it as an awesome opportunity to be the hands and feet of Christ.

Why do you want to volunteer with Precious Blood Volunteers?

I love the ministry’s focus on walking with those who suffer and the emphasis on forming and building relationships in the Kansas City community. I’m also glad that I’ll have the support of Precious Blood priests and other volunteers to grow in my faith.

What are you looking forward to about your volunteer experience?

I am looking forward to being in the clinic and learning about healthcare accessibility, as I hope to go into the medical field in the future. I’m also excited to get to know the community and Kansas City!
