75 reasons to volunteer

I posted the following list a few years ago. However, given natural disasters being dealt with in North America and around the world, I thought it would be beneficial to re-post these reasons to volunteer.

Here in Alberta, wildfires have forced the evacuation of communities. In the most extreme case, the town of Slave Lake has be evacuated of its 7,000 residents. Thirty percent of the town has been burned and people are living in evacuations centres.

This has been a record-setting tornado season in the USA, leaving death and destruction in their wake. And the season is not over. Major earthquakes have hit both Japan and New Zealand with devastating consequences.

Often times, in among the chaos and confusion of these events, volunteers provide the key services and support that help people as they begin to put their lives back together.

Of course volunteering doesn’t need to be confined to crisis events. Everyday, organizations and services are looking for volunteers to help in the effective delivery of programs.

You can make a difference. Volunteering can transform you and the world around you. There are plenty of reasons why you should volunteer – find the one that feels right.
