I am a volunteer with an arts program in which I will visit a child abuse shelter 1x a week and bring art projects for the kids to have fun with. The organization I work for has the realtionship with the specific shelter and matched me to them. I have called multiple times to set up an appointment to meet the shelter managers, and have never gottena call back. I finally got through to someone and they were rude asking what do I want and why was I calling? Only to find out she would not accomodate my schedule at all (I provided many options) and passed me on to someone who will be there those hours. Not at all the friendly, welcoming attitude I had pictured. I called the second person who sounded equally annoyed by my phone call, but did pick a time when I can come by. I almost feel like I am being a nuisance to them by volunteering my time with the children. I am feeling a bit down since they do not seem happy to have me, but don't want to complain to the organization. Any advice?
