I had a lot of fun during Austin Trail of Lights, I helped out with incoming people looking for their packages for the run. Last year I also volunteered for the Trail of Lights, but I helped by giving directions to people. Overall it was a great experience which taught me social communication and skills.
It was a great experience! i enjoyed every bit of it. Along with helping with my shift, I got to see the lights as I was helping. I would love to do it again when the time comes around. It was a great way to gain hours and I also bonded with many other people. 10/10 would do it again and recommend this opportunity to my peers.
Checked-in other volunteers for the first hour or so, and from there became a 'floater' for whatever the staff needed. Mostly handed out free coupons from sponsors to people getting off the merry-go-round and other rides.
Not only was I able to have a great socializing time with my friends in a gorgeous environment, we were able to help out and provide service to the community! 10/10 would recommend and 10/10 would do it again! This is such a great program and everyone should definitly give it a shot!
