[quote=Anonymous]OP, DD is in the process of getting involved in a volunteer opportunity that closely aligns with her future goals. What she needed to get there was the internet, and some persistence when she was told no (or found out that the activity would be performative elsewhere). What she ultimately found requires a ton of commitment. She will be working with an underserved community, and any member of the community could do the same if they are so inclined, so as level as a playing field is going to get (which is not to say there won't be children who cannot commit to that amount of time/effort). She could probably have gotten away with working with her dad, and potentially developed a project that is adjacent to her area of interest, but that was not something she wanted. Instead, she is trying to get DH to take on someone she knows who has direct interest in the field, and the chops to get meaningful work done. [/quote]
