Why volunteer? Well, the obvious answer is, "to help others" or "to give back". Aren't we really helping ourselves in the process? I think so. Volunteering makes you feel good, it makes your inner light shine a little brighter, it puts a lift in your step and a song in your heart. It makes you feel like you're making a difference.
What's even better? Volunteering with a friend or a group. So grab your BFF, your book club or your networking group and brainstorm ways that YOU can make a difference!
These days, Facebook is a great place to find ways to volunteer. Many non-profit organizations post upcoming events and ways that the community can help. A quick search can result in MANY volunteer opportunities! The United Way of Kitsap County also has a list of partner agencies that need help.
The "Just 5 Minutes" idea for this post? Op4G - A market research company where the surveys you take means money for the non-profit of YOUR choice! I encourage you to check it out. There is a long list of non-profits, including the Arthritis Foundation Great West Region.
