What kinds of positive messaging can we give our children? Ones that they can understand, personalize and carry forward? Volunteering is a powerful message, one they can carry throughout their lives and one that will create a caring, productive citizen.
Volunteering is fun done individually, even better when you bring a friend. I’ve had the chance to introduce many of my acquaintances to numerous volunteer efforts I’m involved in – it’s fun to work side by side in an effort that improves the life of people – and provides so much self-fulfillment. It is often surprising to discover a cause you both believe in.
I have the opportunity on the last Sunday of this month to give a presentation on “volunteering” to a great group of people in the “second half” of their lives. During the presentation I’m going to actually demonstrate one of the volunteer opportunities I’m currently involved with – storytelling. I’m looking forward to it and appreciate the interest. Look for more storytellers as a result.
