I've Got a New Year's Resolution for you...

VOLUNTEER!

I hope everyone is doing well with their resolutions (working out, no more soda, diets, calling your mother every day, etc. etc.) but I've got one more for you and I hope it's not too late...

Make a commitment to volunteering!

Worried about travel? Bet you didn't know you can actually mentor young adults looking to go to college through email!

Too busy with work? Volunteering does not have to happen every day. Try volunteering once a month at a soup kitchen.

Volunteer Match is also a great organization which works to place prospective volunteers with opportunities that fit their specific situations.

You are all planning to work out and eat better to improve your well being; why not volunteer! Volunteering has been shown to improve your health, well being, and social skills all while benefiting your community. And that FACT comes from the government!

So make it one of your resolutions to VOLUNTEER and help make a difference in your community this year.
