Do you want to be a volunteer? Maybe you need some ideas. Here is some advice for you.
Help kids learn and grow. Be a big brother or sister at an after-school care centre. You can help little kids to learn and play with them.
Give back during the holidays. Serve dinner to the homeless, volunteer at an old people's home, or give toys to kids.
Help at an animal shelter. Most shelters depend on volunteers to keep the cats and dogs happy and take them to exercise. And when you're walking dogs, you get some exercise.
Protect the environment. Take part in a park clean-up day. Plant a tree. Join in an activity to work together to protect a river.
Help sick people. Helping others can make you feel good. When you cheer sick people up, you also feel happy. If you have several hobbies, find a way to do them all. For example, if you love kids and are good at painting and dancing, visit a children's hospital and teach them these interesting things.
Hope all the ideas will be of some help to you. Do you have any other ideas about how to be a volunteer?
