I volunteer at a suicide prevention hotline

like

Many months of training, I did it before this whole Covid thing of course

I know friends who volunteer at helplines (domestic abuse, eating disorder, suicide prevention, etc.) - maybe you can look into that. Granted, they started before the crises and got trainings before all of this, so I don’t know how feasible it is to start now. But if you can get into it, you can easily do it remote and help people!

Making well wishes cards for Make A Wish Foundation

Zooniverse, Smithsonian, Sky's The Limit mentoring young entrepreneurs ... Google virtual volunteering, there's lots of stuff. Check Points of Light or your local volunteering association for local opps like calling lonely seniors. Good luck!

Built by Girls’ Wave Program! They pair professionals in tech (loose definition) with HS and college age women

I also volunteer as a wish greater for make a wish

Awesome, thanks everyone I’ll look into tho :)

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative. Not in a Womb Stories way, but more in an Uncommon B&Q Build a Life way. The reference I’m thinking of cuts away to vintage black and white footage and even old cartoons. I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!
