Volunteering story is coming back!
Based on my personality, I don't like just staying at home and doing nothing special(only sometimes good) so I was looking for something interesting activities when I got in San Francisco first. I searched everyday with the keyword, "Things to do in San Francisco". I checked festivals, musicals, events or meet up!
And I found this "Stern Grove Festival" in Sunset area and I filled out the form as a volunteer.
Stern Grove Festival Association is a non-profit organization committed to providing the people of the Bay Area with admission-free access to diverse performing arts.
As soon as I filled out them, I got an confirmation e-mail so that I can join the volunteering on designated date. I like music so much so I can volunteer and also enjoy the music they perform at the same time! Yay! I selected the date performing opera when I can enjoy the music in the forest. It sounded to me FANTASTIC!!

What I did as a volunteer was to promote people to donate for this festival. If someone donate, they give a sticker as a sign of a contributor(how smart it is). Therefore, we should find someone without a sticker and encourage them to donate! That was my duty!
This festival had been held every weekend for almost 2 months. I have been twice, one for volunteering and one for a picnic from my internship company. The second time there with coworkers was the last day of the festival when OK GO band performed! I didn't know that band before but I heard pretty famous here.
