Hi Brendon, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Tell us a little about yourself to our readers?
My name is Brendon Bradford and I am from Chicago Illinois. I am currently completing my degree at Jackson State University in Jackson Mississippi and after completing the final year, plan to move back to Chicago.
I used to play baseball so I like playing baseball in my free time. My favorite food would be chicken tenders. One of the things I like about Chicago are the summers! It is an excellent time to be there. I support the Chicago Cubs and catching game during summers is always there in the list.
Are you a student volunteer or a corporate volunteer or a community volunteer?
I am a student volunteer with Asha Hope Amanaki.
Could you describe your volunteer role at Asha Hope Amanaki?
As a social media manager, my primary role was to post regularly on the Social Media Channels such as LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook. I post regularly on Turesday and I have been with the team since January 2023.
How did you find out about the Volunteer Opportunity?
I found it through our JSU Community Service Portal – GivePulse and I liked this opportunity as I thought I could use my skills to help the organization grow.
How was your experience working with Asha Hope Amanaki and the volunteer opportunity in general?
Did volunteering on community projects help you in your job or career?
It has not yet helped me directly yet, but I expect it to help me in the future as I have gained a lot of experience in Graphic Design and it might help me get an opportunity at another company doing the same work.
Since you are virtual volunteer, what are your thoughts on Virtual vs InPerson opportunity?
Definitely I would love to work online than in person. This summer I completed a virtual internship and it added a lot of flexibility giving me the opportunity to move around, not stuck in one place, deciding my schedules etc. The biggest con is getting distracted as you can easily get comfortable.
