5 Overall Experience   
I've gained immeasurable perspective and blessings from volunteering at the Mission.

I volunteered with On the Job, Inc. this summer and have worked with the Boston Rescue Mission during the school year. I help recruit student volunteers and volunteers in general for the Mission. I recommend this opportunity to anyone who likes seeing results. One cannot spend time at the Mission and not be affected by the way it changes people's lives. posted by owens on November 15, 2002
