Volunteering In Your Community

If you are interested in volunteering but are not sure where to begin, try asking yourself the following questions and 4 easy steps to determine what kind of volunteer opportunities will suit you best:

• If you had all the human and financial resources in the world, what problem would you solve, what would you change or what would you create? Your answer will tell you what matters the most to you.
• What kind of time commitment are you willing to make? Are you looking for a regular weekly volunteer commitment or maybe a short-term or one-time opportunity
