When I arrived, the person in charge (another volunteer) was very rude to me, said she didn’t need any help, and did not welcome my help, I was speechless and left. It really left me upset and I didn’t offer to volunteer again. I think the coordinator should have talked to this person and smoothed the way for me or never placed me there at all. The volunteer who runs the lab obviously feels threatened and possessive. Not a good situation. Veri: Had a great time this weekend.
