Volunteering for Queer Screen changed my life!

Volunteering for Queer Screen changed my life!

Ever thought of volunteering and haven’t?

I mean I won’t know anyone, what to do and surely they would have enough volunteers already. I had all of those thoughts before volunteering at this year’s Mardi Gras Film Festival.

I’m glad I did because it changed my life. I enjoyed being one of the many volunteers who without there would be no festival, I saw some great films and have made some new friends.

And that’s not all! I learnt there are many more queer film festivals around the world!

That’s where the story really begins. A quick message to my best friend Sarah and we booked flights and movies to Frameline42 in San Francisco. We loved every minute of our travels, the city, the people we met and the films we saw.

Ever thought about volunteering and haven’t? Go on it might just change your life!
