A Little Suggestion

I know the school year is quickly coming to an end; but one of the easiest ways to learn about volunteer opportunities is to join various service organizations associated with your school. Clubs such as the Beta Club, Key Club, and National Honors Society not only require their members to serve their community for a certain number of hours, they offer hundreds of ideas and ways to serve. The Beta Club at Eastside High School usually suggests volunteering at the local humane society and helping with charity events such as Relay for Life. Service organizations usually help you set up various times and location for you to volunteer. This way you don't have to go searching for people who need your help...they come to you! So try to sign up to be a member of one of those organizations before the school year ends, because they usually have great summer volunteer opportunities as well.

Here is one of my favorite quotes on volunteerism:
"It is one of the beautiful compensations of life, that no man can sincerely help another without helping himself."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
It basically is saying how beneficial, mentally and emotionally, volunteering can be to the one who is serving.
