I'm a volunteer tutor. I worked with both immigrants learning English and mentally disabled high school students. It's always a joy.
I'm participating because I want people to think about the stereotypes, and how they conflict, and how the same person can have different labels. For example, I walk fast, like a New Yorker, but I'm not stereotypically aloof with strangers.
I volunteer for Andy's Attic at my school, it is a nonprofit that was made to help anyone who is in need.
I would love to support this project because it serves a great purpose. Labels are simply negative comments from others doesn't define me as a person. I would listen to their comments and see if I can change myself for the better.
Yesterday I rode my bike past a guy walking barefoot on an overpass in the city. He was walking like his feet hurt. I thought he might have gotten robbed for his shoes so I stepped and asked if he wanted a ride anywhere. I said he could ride on my crossbar. It turned out he was just walking home and didn't need help at all. At least I know.

I work as an RA on campus, and the whole reason I got into the job was to help people going through a tough time. So I spend a large amount of my free time helping people who are struggling.
I think it is a great cause.
