5 Overall Experience   
Being a volunteer facilitator has been meaningful and fulfilling.

I volunteer as a facilitator for Parents Helping Parents. I meet weekly at a women's prison group to talk about parenting issues with the residents. I received excellent training and support from the organization, and there is always someone available to discuss issues with that take place in my group. I have learned a lot about group dynamics, improved my listening and reflecting skills, and how to let people take responsibility for their own solutions to problems. posted by Volunteer Facilitator on June 16, 2005
