Tuesday Newsday: Volunteer with a Local Non Profit Agency

As the New Year rolls around, we all make resolutions in hopes of breathing new life into our own lives as well as those around us.  It helps us be more productive and to re-focus on those things which we believe will make us better people.

I would like to offer a few suggestions of some ways to continue the Christmas season into the New Year:

  1. Get Involved! Plan time to volunteer with one of your favorite organizations. Mark it on your calendar and it will get done.
  2. Get a friend to join you. There is nothing better than volunteering with an organization and having your friends involved with you.
  3. Inform your friends that there is a worthwhile organization that needs their help.
  4. Develop an interest within the organization where your talents can best be utilized. Don’t wait for an invitation. Everyone has skills which can help a non-profit.

Being a part of a non-profit gives a sense of well-being both mentally and physically.  Assisting a group with their mission, no matter which group, will help you build a better place in the lives of others.  There are many different organizations with many varying needs.  We all have a bit of expertise we can share with others.

  1. Meet new people. When you meet new people, you improve your mental health and possibly learn and do things which may be very fun.

We hope that this brief list of resolutions is helpful.  Most importantly, do not be afraid.  Reach out to others and your life could easily be filled with joy.

Happy New Year!!!
