What do you have to give as a volunteer?
Time-Your extra time can brighten the day of a small child who needs a mentor or a senior who needs a companion to talk to. Time is one of the most important things that you bring to volunteering.
Experience- Your skills can make a world of difference to people around you. For example, if you had teaching experience in the past, you could share those skills by teaching a child how to read.
Wisdom- Life knowledge is a wonderful gift to bring to volunteering, being able to understand what others are going through and being able offer a lending hand or kind word can really make a difference in peoples' lives.
Patience- Patience is a gift that few have, sitting with someone whom otherwise does not have someone willing to do so, can greatly enhance the quality of life for someone who is isolated or ill.
