## Resource

Janice Finn Weekes retired from a career in adult training and wasn't sure she was qualified to teach an AARP safe driving course. Her friends set her straight: you don't have to be an expert driver, you have to be an expert trainer. Five years later, she's still showing up — and noticing something unexpected in her classroom. In a scary world, her students have gotten sweeter with each other. Someone finally said it out loud: when we come in here, we want to be the way we used to be: positive, considerate, patient and caring. Janice went looking for a way to keep giving — what she found was that the secret to volunteering is that you always get more than you give.
