Volunteer Spotlight
“Retire from work, not life”
Robin Smith, a former clinical psychologist, has spent the last few years thinking and writing about retirement. Leaving his 38-year career in 2022, he recognizes retirement is a process.
Robin suggests “You stop going to a job every day, but that’s only a small part of it.” Volunteering with Habitat, acting, writing, and other creative pursuits are part of that reflective process which also satisfies his curiosity and serves his community. Continue reading about Robin and his experience volunteering with Habitat.
