Resolve to Volunteer

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.
