Ever hear someone in your small town say, “someone else will do it, why should I care?” This is exactly what makes the Mayor, City Council members and City Clerk cringe inside. Part of living in a small community means that we have to do a little more, and being a great volunteer is to love what you are doing. Find something that you're passionate about or something that inspires you, and then find a need in your community. There are dozens of reasons why men, women, teenagers, retirees, and children should volunteer. You just need to find the one that feels right. Here are some great reasons to volunteer:
- Help others
- Make a difference
- Find a purpose
- Enjoy a meaningful conversation
- Connect with your community leaders
- Feel involved
- Contribute to a cause that you care about
- Use your skills in a productive way or develop new skills
- Meet new people
- Explore new areas of interest
- Impress your parents or co-workers
- Expand your horizons
- Get out of the house
- Strengthen your resume
- Feel better about your town
