Volunteer to Finish Up the School Year

Many schools have closed for the summer. However, if your local school has not closed, you can volunteer to clean up. Some schools have experienced extensive budget cuts so any help is good news.

Remember, speak with your medical provider before engaging in any physical activity.

Volunteering

This holiday you may think about limiting your volunteer efforts because of last minute shopping, party planning, and last minute work to finish. However, you can still volunteer. One idea is to contact your volunteer coordinator and let him/her know that you still want to volunteer but limited hours.

Remember, volunteering can be done based on your schedule so do not feel guilty.

Volunteer

Who has time to volunteer between family, friends, school, work, and business? It is a good question but some people view it as an extra burden. Actually, volunteering can be good but you have to take into consideration a few factors such as the amount of time you have, the location (physical or virtual), the reason for volunteering, and family/work/business obligations.

Some companies allow their employees time to volunteer which is wonderful. Meanwhile, you can always start with a few hours per month before increasing your commitment. Most of the time, my volunteer limit includes free childcare for the nephews but I have started to examine additional volunteer opportunities. here are some ideas:

For physical options:

Art Galleries
Bookstores
Hospitals
Childcare centers
Libraries

For virtual options:

Virtual stores
Education websites
Ezines
