Would a seniors lodge be offended if I want to volunteer to get my 100 hours of volunteer time?

Wouldn’t it make sense to ask them? Why would they be offended?

@elbanditoroso It sounds insincere. Im not sure why I want to be a social worker, other than as to getting a full time job to get off of disability. I wany a master’s in psychology to become a career counselor. Or to make reference material to help career searches, because I witnessed my father swearing at his calculator. He clearly was in the wrong field. (Accounting).

You have to get your Bachelor degree first. Before Master degree . . . .

100 hours is not a Bachelor degree.

@Tropical_Willie I am scared to take the first step. I need to see were the staircase goes.

In Alberta you need 100 volunteers hours.
Three letters of reference.
Also an essay on why I want to be a social worker.

You need all three just to sign up for the one year class.

I don’t have the money , and I would like to pay off my debts before starting anything new.

Volunteering is a good idea no matter what you eventually decide to do. Gets you out of the house, helps you feel productive, interactions with people, not to mention the obvious – helping others.

“Baby steps” and volunteering would a good thing to do.

I think volunteering is a wonderful thing to do. There have been times in my life that.my volunteer gig was more important to me than a paying gig, especially when those volunteer gigs held the possibility to foster career opportunities.

This sounds like a good first step. Know you are capable of doing this.

For volunteering hours, my daughter played piano at a retirement home. Win-win – she got her hours and the seniors got music.

I am confused. If you want to become a career counselor, why must you first become a social worker? Why not just get a BA in psychology and then a masters in career counseling?

^^ I think the social worker program takes just one year. But I kind of doubt that a Master’s program would accept that for admission; they’d probably require a BA because of so many other courses required outside of the major. <shrugs>

@LostInParadise I do not have enough income to go straight into a B.A. of Psychology. I thought that after an one year certification that I can get a good paying job in Social work. Then put that income into part time university online studies in Athabasca university.

Update I’m focused on my Duolingo French lessons, and day to day responsibilities. I want to pay off my credit card before, and save $5,000 before signing up for anything drastic.
