I have hundreds and hundreds of hours as a volunteer at a local nonprofit. This nonprofit provides housing and medical care for adults with brain injuries, genetic disorders, etc.
When I first began volunteering there, it was handyman-like in nature - I helped paint, maintain the houses, mow the yard, etc. It then evolved into me doing that along with helping set up fundraisers to raise money and awareness for them. After a while of this, I began to get to know the residents and my volunteer time once again evolved into spending time with them, having conversations with them, assisting them around the house/into chairs/etc.
Overall, it has been a great experience and I have learned a lot in the ways of compassion and so forth, but I'm not sure it's medically-related since I didn't actually *do* much past spend time with them, raise money, and take care of their homes. How should I classify this?
