STEP 1: Think about organizations, groups, or causes that interest you, or look at ways to help in or around your community. These organizations or causes could be anything from feeding the homeless to going on a mission trip or joining a beach clean-up group. Write a list of 5-10 organizations, groups, or causes that pique your interest.
STEP 2: Once you have your list, research them and call the organizations or groups to see what volunteering opportunities they have available.
STEP 3: Find and register for an event you’d like to attend and consider inviting others to participate with you. Put the event down on your calendar and commit to going to it. Invite others to help hold yourself accountable for showing up to the event.
STEP 4: The morning of, have a hearty breakfast to give you good energy for the day. Enjoy giving back, knowing that you are helping others. If you are working with people, take time to get to know some of the people you interact with. It is important to make everyone feel just as important as you are in a setting where some may feel less fortunate. Try to gain information about what you are participating in so that you can share the experiences and knowledge with others.
