Volunteer for life

Volunteerism can be workplace-based, or it can take place within specific
organizations, be they local, national, or international. You may staff a
phone bank for a political party, walk dogs at the shelter, do first aid for a
walk-a-thon, or provide nursing care to the homeless with a local outreach
team.
On the other hand, volunteerism can be wholly private and personal. For
example, you may simply choose to spend an afternoon each week with
an elderly neighbor who likes to play cards, or who needs someone to
run errands or take out the trash. Your volunteer activities can be official,
unofficial, high profile, or under the radar.

Choose forms of volunteerism that work for you and your lifestyle, and that
bring you joy, personal growth, professional opportunity, and a good feeling
inside. No matter what you do, volunteer doing something you love, and you
just can’t go wrong.
