Looking for a New Year’s resolution (or goal as I prefer)? Consider resolving to volunteer this year and give the gift of time to a charitable organization (if you don’t already do so).
It takes some time, but some opportunities might be done from your home or as a family. Plus, your community benefits from every minute you can give helping an organization, group or neighbour.
Need more incentive than the warm fuzzies you will get? Volunteer Canada has a pretty cool new program for 2010 – Give a Day, Get a Disney Day. Check it out.
Still not sure where to start? Look for a local volunteer centre (see the Volunteer Canada website) or check out CharityVillage for volunteer opportunities in your area.
