The purpose of this blog is not only to shed a light on the current and historical injustices of the world, but to also encourage others to speak out and make a difference, and volunteering is certainly one way to among other ways.
Volunteering can connect you with others and holds your community together. Whether it's working with animals, in soup kitchens, or making food for homeless shelters, such as Waypoint, the help you give impacts your community and others around you.
Not only is volunteering good for your community but also good for you. Volunteering broadens your network, group of friends, and community. Not to mention it increases your social and relationship skills. Volunteering increases self confidence, combats depression and gives you a sense of pride and identity, because you're accomplishing things and making differences.
Places you can volunteer include animal shelters, parks, food pantries such as soup kitchens and Green Square Meals, local libraries, Habitat For Humanity, museums, political campaigns, retirement homes, and hospitals and clinics.
So get out there and see what's in store for you. Volunteering not only helps others around you, but it also helps you expand your horizons and learn about yourself and the community around you.
