 I'm Rebecca Woodland and I live in South Amherst near Elf Meadow and Brookfield Farm. I just had a milestone birthday which was really exciting and I've lived in Amherst since 2006 most recently but back in the day I was an undergraduate at UMass Amherst. I volunteer for the town of Amherst for two reasons. The first reason is it's a wonderful opportunity to be able to use my own expertise and natural skills and abilities in a volunteer way and not associated with work so it's more free-form and natural to use my skills there and talents there. Probably the second more important reason is I get to be with very cool committed passionate other citizens of Amherst too. We have a good time and who are they're very invested caring smart people and so to spend time with them is great. If you're interested in Amherst volunteer and if you're interested in volunteering do it for the town of Amherst. Whatever you love to do and or topics you're interested in there's a place in a way to volunteer. I say go for it.
