In what may be surprising to many, Rob actually sorta hated volunteering and community service. While the concept of it was something they could get behind, they found in practice, it was usually unproductive and performative, not to mention the ease with which people loved to warp it into proof of how great they were, only to fully embody the role of a white savior - cue the eye rolls. But they did it anyways, if only to encourage other’s to do it. There was a benefit from it, Rob just....had their sights set a little higher. On actually making change, which meant fundamentally working more on changing society than just volunteering on Luxor’s campus, various “environmental” things like doing clean-up, working in the community garden, or planting trees.
It was these thoughts that were going through their head as they were finishing up their volunteer shift that weekend with a heavy sigh. “How much do you want to be the school only even hosts this shit because they get some sort of tax write off?” Rob muttered under their breath to the person next to them, all together annoyed by the group of people who had shown up that morning.
