Tried to join this organization about a month or so ago as a volunteer tutor. Got through the background check (even paid for that myself - VERY stupid), the organization then asked me to meet them at a local center which is open at very specific times. I told them that I worked from 9 to 5 every weekday and asked if they could meet with me at another time. No response.
I have nine years' experience as a math instructor and tutor and feel that I would have been a great asset to this organization, but I had no idea that they would ghost me over not being able to meet with them at times they specified. I find this to be deeply unfair, and I am out the cost of a background check for nothing.
Looking around at the misery and suffering in my city, I understand better why things are the way they are. If potential volunteers are treated like this, why would anyone want to get involved in a positive way? read more
