“Volunteering gives me a sense of purpose and allows me to give back for all those years I worked and did nothing else.”
– Karen Mitchell, Class of 2011
I volunteer at Blackland Prairie Raptor Center and Outdoor Learning Center. I love working with animals and both of these venues meet that goal. I also volunteer as an Ombudsman for the State of Texas.
Being a member of Master Naturalist has done a lot for me – meeting like minded people – making wonderful friends and keeping me out of trouble. Volunteering gives me a sense of purpose and allows me to give back for all those years I worked and did nothing else.
