I'm still looking for ways to get plugged into 30 hrs of youth develop experience, but nothing seems to be popping up. I do get some leads to volunteer at the YMCA, but after two months of not hearing anything or receiving answers my left messages, I figure that's shot down.
Because I was nominated practically a year before my departure date (was nominated in June to leave the next June 2013) my medical papers and any contact from a placement officer would not come until I got a lot closer to my departure date of June 2013. Late October I was "medically pre-qualified" which pretty much means all the basic info about my medical history (no problems/concerns) was not of caution to the PC. I still have to do the doctor stuff once I am officially invited, but that is to come later. Early December I was contacted by a placement officer that requested updated resumes and skill sheets I did all of that. A second placement officer contacted me mid December asking some questions like "Have you told your family? What do they think?" and also asked if I had any reservations about living without electricity (no), running water (maybe), or specific climates (COLD PLEASE!).
