Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can make a person’s life better.
National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect chance to encourage others to become a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they don’t have enough time to do volunteer work.
The following tips can help if you have some of those worries;
Start out slowly. Don’t add too much pressure (压力). Even a few hours a mouth can make a big difference in someone’s life.
Choose an organization (组织) with the same interest and common values.
Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.
Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience. Remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right one.
Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives.
