This week’s Throwback Volunteer Spotlight is Suzanne Shown. 

This interview took place prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

How did you hear about Volunteer Odyssey?

I heard about Volunteer Odyssey through the Memphis Botanic Garden.  

Can you tell us about a meaningful volunteer experience that you found through Volunteer Odyssey?

I love volunteering – the camaraderie of working together on a project, meeting new people, and making friends.  I have especially enjoyed working in the MBG herb garden. I’ve learned so much about herbs!

What would you say to someone who is thinking of signing up to volunteer through Volunteer Odyssey?

 If you’re thinking about signing up – go for it!  Your volunteer activity may open up a whole new adventure!
