Where to find volunteer opportunities

| “Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.”~Elizabeth Andrew
You might have thought about volunteering once in your
life but before considering applying for any program its good to ask yourself these
questions; Why do you want to volunteer? Where do you want to volunteer? Then
find a volunteering program that suits your wishes.
Why volunteering?
There are many reasons I can tell you why volunteering
is good for you, to mention a few;
1. There
is a lot to know about volunteering.
2. A
lot to learn through volunteering.
3. Make
new friends and long-lasting connections.
4. Enrich
your curriculum vitae.
5. You

ReplyDeleteI love that quote....
DeleteEverybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve…. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
