My experience with non-profit organizations

A previous experience I have had in business was volunteering for non-profit organizations. I have volunteered at a variety of non-profit organizations including different charities and religious organizations, but the one I spent the most time volunteering for was a nursing home in Allentown, Pa. I started volunteering around the age of twelve. The facility is called Phoebe Nursing Home. It is a non-profit organization, this means that they are not in business to make a profit, they are in business to help others and to be generous. My experience with Phoebe Nursing Home was a positive one because I enjoy devoting time to a business that I know is working to help others rather than themselves.
