start volunteering

in reality, i’d like to start volunteering regularly for a cause that i care about that needs some help. but this is a start. volunteering at the MS regatta skipper’s dinner tomorrow. will be doling out clam chowder (gross) to help raise some $$$ for MS. maybe i can even find an event once a month to volunteer at while i’m looking for a regular gig?

I want to start volunteering around the community. Help people in need. To make a difference in one persons life would mean alot even if its only one still a difference.

I want to focus on assisting the mentally handicapped, or those that became homeless due to circumstances in thier lives, or those willing to change a destructive habit.

SO I now volunteer at the American Red Cross two nights every week. I volunteer for two hours each day, and over the summer I racked up about 90 hours of volunteer time. I probably have 100 by now, but I would have to check.
It hardly took much effort, but I feel great now. I’m also trying to get some volunteer time at the cystic fibrosis foundation on the weekends.
I think the time and effort I put into this was completely and utterly worth itI’ve made new acquaintances and I feel like I’ve really helped someone! The people I volunteered for really did me a service, not the other way around.

Everyone who has any extra time should try volunteering. I’ve made new acquaintances and I feel like I’ve really helped someone! The people I volunteered for really did me a service, not the other way around. If anyone needs any advice, or any help getting started, then just contact me!! I’m more than willing to help you out!

I got on the internet today to research places i can volunteer. I have my heart set on an animal shelter but cant find any in my area… and since i dont drive and have to rely on public transport… i dont want to have to trek miles away. I guess all i can do is keep searching… and then get on the phone!

I took the first step. I called the closest Red Cross and they gave me a website to go to. There I can get online and register (submit na application). And then on Thursday i have to go to a volunteering seminar kind of thing. EXCITED!

Also, I called a place that I had volunteered at before (Hillcrest Care Center). They should be calling be back sometime this week with dates that I can come in on.

Yay! I took the initiative.

Volunteering fills up a special place in one’s heart. Specially when you see the people’s reaction when you help them.

I need to call Hillcrest Care Center tomorrow as well as Red Cross to find out when I should and can come in. I will report my accomplishments.

I currently volunteer two nights per week. One night is for Rainbow Brownies and the other is as a Volunteer Tutor. Its only 2 hours out my life a week and it is so worth it. Not only am I helping others it has totally helped me get a new job too!
