Statement Of Purpose: Volunteering At JVS

Improved Essays
I was born and raised in Brazil, live in the US since 1986 and I am an American citizen since 2009. I am fluent in Portuguese and Spanish, self study Dutch as a hobby, have an immense interest in social justice and great satisfaction in seeing people grow and thrive. I truly take pleasure in working directly with people of diverse cultural, linguistic and social backgrounds.

I have been unemployed for two and a half years and before that I worked for almost 10 years for a retail company. I learned extensively in many areas of retail, marketing and customer service and truly enjoyed the people I worked with and for, but I must admit, I always felt far removed from my passion, perhaps even a sense of obligation, of actually contributing meaningfully to society.

Volunteering at JVS would allow me to gain valuable work experience while being of service to our community. I intend to follow a career path that eventually would allow me to work with immigrants and refugees and JVS is the ideal organization. And yes, I am extremely encouraged by and particularly appreciative of the JVS mission and core values. Those values are dearly meaningful to me.

I look forward to meeting with you to further discuss a volunteering opportunity.

Thank you for reviewing my letter and enclosed

    I recently read a memorable bit of data that emphasizes the importance of working in a career that provides purpose and satisfaction; between the ages of 20 and 65, an average individual, working a forty-hour work week with two weeks vacation per year, will devote over 90,000 hours to their profession.
