This website and this particular article talks about the benefits of volunteering, and how to start. It talks about how you need to find what volunteer activity fits you, your needs, and your interests. You should volunteer somewhere that has to do with your interests, so that your passionate about the time you give. It also talks about how you have to make sure that your volunteer time must fit your schedule. You must find the right volunteer group or place, but also make sure that you're schedule allows you to take that time and spend it volunteering. You also must open up your mind and thoughts to your volunteer project. Lastly, the article talks about how you must feel good and look good, and how volunteering looks good to other people. You must feel good about what you are doing, you're helping someone else, and you're also helping yourself grow as a person. When you volunteer you must look good, and also it looks good on applications and in other peoples eye's.
I will be able to use this article in my mini ethnography because it tells you the basics of volunteering, and how to get started. This is helpful because it is a background on volunteering everywhere, not only in my sites. Volunteers are important to our world, and this article helps our teens and kids get started and gets them informed about how to volunteer and what the important parts are to it.

This website in its entirety talks about HOBY and what the organization is and what the organization stands for. The specific page that I am writing about is the "about" page. This page talks about how HOBY was established and what it essentially is. HOBY is a seminar put on each year in every state, showing students how to lead, volunteer, and be bright. Each adult that works with HOBY is a volunteer, and there are over 4,000 adults volunteering for HOBY each year. HOBY has strong values and has many alumni to spread the beliefs and values of HOBY.
This website will help me tremendously with my ethnography because HOBY is one of my sites that I am writing about. HOBY is where I started my volunteering, and it is a very important organization to me. The website will help me find facts about HOBY and about volunteering.
