Volunteering as an essay reader for the Stop The Hate Essay Contest was a wonderful experience! They communicate very well with their volunteers, so there should be zero confusion about the task. It is an enjoyable opportunity to grow as a human being by reading the children's perspectives on hate/injustice. Plus, you get the privilege to help a great cause! I would recommend this opportunity to anyone and hope to volunteer with them in the future.
