- By hating what you are doing and doing it anyway, you are giving service a bad name. In this talk, Jaime Parker redefines community service by urging people to stop engaging in volunteer activities that make them miserable, because misery is contagious. Instead, she urges people to find a volunteer job that makes them excited and to use their passion to brighten the life of another person.
Jaime Parker is Manager of Programs at the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK). TASK is a nonprofit that feeds those who are hungry in the Mercer County area and offers programs to encourage self-sufficiency and improve the quality of life of its patrons. TASK co-ordinates the work of some 3500 volunteers in the Mercer County region, and brings a new dimension to community service in New Jersey.
