How to volunteer
How I did it: I searched the internet then signed up with NY Cares. My reasons for volunteering were kind of selfish. I really just needed something to do and I was having a bad time at home and didn't have any money for a vacation so I thought I could get away by volunteering.
Lessons & tips: Even though my reasons for volunteering were kind of selfish. I really liked helping out and in turn that helped me too. So I think it was a win/win situation. It's true that helping others will make you feel good too.
Resources: NY Cares is a great organization because they allow you to pick where and when you want to volunteer. There is no minimum hours you need to put in. I suggest anyone who does not live in NYC to comb through the internet or go to your local police station, library, and phone book to find places where you can volunteer.
