Tell Us About Your Experiences
Fullfilling, energizing.
I could not have imagined how fulfilling my volunteer experience was; truly energizing.
New part of my life :-)
Volunteering to help others is now a new part of my life
:-)
Incredible experience!
Wow! It took a little while for me to take that first step, but I am so glad I did - what an incredible experience.
Pulled on my heart strings
I now realize how blessed I am...those children just pulled on my heartstrings and I'm grateful that I can somehow touch the lives of such wonderful people. Volunteering definately fills a space in my heart.
Selfish?
This may sound selfish, but I had just as much, no maybe more fun than anyone else! Volunteering rocks!!
New friends
By being a volunteer, not only did I feel productive and appreciated, but I met some wonderful people and some new friends.
Cheer of success and seeing that look of gratitude
Learning all over again as you're teaching a child, then hearing the cheer of success and seeing that look
of gratitude when a child finally "gets it" was an equally gratifying moment for me!
Took things for granted
I realized how much I took things for granted, when I saw the joy of a child kick a ball after attempting at
least 15 times.
Heroes in our lives
We all need heroes in our lives. I thought I was going to be one, but I found one instead.
Most memorable
Of all of the things I did that day, that week, that month, the time I spent as a volunteer was the most
memorable and those I cherished he most.
Laughter
Everyone has struggles and down times, but we still survive. It's all relative and no matter what, laughter
is still the best medicine. We all had some of that great healing power on that day.
Provide comfort
Kind words and a hug, even from a gentle stranger, provide comfort.

Educating and infusing wellness
[go to Educate, Wellness, or Recreation]
Children, born innocent and helpless, are influenced by those they look up to and by their environment. Seniors are parents, grandparents, mentors, and heros, each playing an important role in our lives. Help the youth of our community learn how to live healthy, realize the importance of education, and focus on their inner beauty. Give back to the seniors of our community, never forgetting the important role they played and continue to play in our lives. Energize kindness and compassion. Volunteer!
Prompting environment care
[go to Earth]
Many children spend most of their time indoors, in front of the TV and playing computer games. Few children and adults spend time outdoors to connect with the natural beauty around them. We take the environment for granted, even neglect and destroy it. We assume the environment can fend for itself and recover from whatever we “throw” at it. Reconnecting with nature brings inner peace and tranquility. Help our youth also realize and rejoice in a positive human relationship with nature, its wonders, and beauty! Energize kindness and compassion. Volunteer!
Promoting peace and security
[go to Peace]
Crime happens as a survival mechanism, when no opportunities for legally earned success seem within reach. It typically occurs in desperation, and can manifest itself in youth when saddled with adult responsibility. Crime and its repercussions are not healthy for the individuals, families, or the community. An infusion of confidence, identification of opportunities, and a little direction can make a big difference in reducing reliance on crime. Assist those that are less fortunate and help instill peace and security. Energize kindness and compassion. Volunteer!
Eradicating global hunger and poverty
[go to Global]
How can each of us as individuals help the multitudes of starving kids, families living in sub-poverty levels? We don't see them everyday, but they share the earth with us. They really do exist; they are not make-believe, pictures staged by actors and actresses. They are part of the global present and future, our earth family. They did not choose to be born into the situation they are in. Just like we help our own family members, it is up to us to reach out to them, as they are part of our family in need. Please join with those non-profits who know that collectively we can provide the education and assistance necessary to upgrade the global human condition. Let's not ignore or "step over" those that lay at our feet. Energize kindness and compassion. Volunteer!
Even volunteering an hour of your time or a $5 donation will
ENERGIZE KINDNESS AND COMPASSION. Volunteer!

How do volunteers find the time?
Volunteers trade off more than an hour a day of TV watching, on average, to engage in service. New study shows that adults who have never volunteered spend an average of 436 more hours per year watching TV than adults who volunteer.

In a typical day, recent volunteers tend to be more socially connected and interact with others.
The benefits of volunteering go beyond the community where the work is being done, however;
it also affects the person providing the service.
To summarize the conclusions of several studies:
Good health is preserved by volunteering; it keeps healthy
volunteers healthy.
