It sounds like you're young (staying at home). I would have concerns tho' not quite like you describe your father's. A lot of these type of organizations expect to do this higher calling work for little to no money. They place you in a job that requires you to speak to a lot of people and the people a lot of time will look at you as if you are a leper. They'll work you part time to the max. no. of hours and you'll get no benefits.
Go to the interview to get a better feel of the position. Make sure you are willing to do the work for the pay offered. Make sure that the pay is well enough to afford you a place of your own or to pay for your time in college.
As long as you can be financially responsible for yourself you'll gain the respect of your father because in the end that's what matters.

Your father is afraid for you that's all. If you've done your research and it is a legit organization, I don't see what the problem is with it. You are an adult and you have taken a stand to do something good for others. I commend you. If you want him to feel better, thank him for being concerned about you, let him know that you value his opinions, and maybe say that you will give the job a trial period. See where it goes. Good luck to you. You are young. There are many oportunities out there. This job could be a great reference for future careers.

You contradicted your own statement. It sounds to me (from reading the rest of your statements) that he's concerned with you being careful and knowledgeable of your commitments. That's not wanting you to take initiative, it's telling you to be smart in your endeavors. Why do some women just jump into causes andor relationships without looking at the whole picture. That's why you're always getting hurt. You don't think before you leap. Your dad is on your side. Grow up and know the difference before you start attacking the one person who cares more for you than you obviously do for yourself.
