Volunteering: Giving Back, Gaining More! Top 5 Volunteering Websites
Volunteering provides services that build bridges throughout your community, the world and connects people to people. Your experience and unique talents can help meet the challenges of our communities.
Studies have shown that you can live longer, healthier, and more satisfied because volunteering promotes a more positive outlook on life. I personally have had the satisfaction of volunteering my time purchasing much-needed toiletries for a very worthy local non-profit.
You’re not just helping others – you’re helping yourself holistically grow as a better person and realize how blessed you truly are. Volunteering leads to discoveries, relationships, and friends.
Listed below are the top 5 sites that will open a whole new world of volunteering opportunities for you:

The organization offers various online services to support a community of businesses and non-profit organizations committed to civic engagement.

Also, please look into your local volunteer opportunities. Living in the Washington, D.C. area, I have an affinity for giving back to the town where I grew up. For me, it’s all about giving back to a city that helped nurture me. Search online for “local volunteer opportunities.” You’ll find a wide variety of opportunities – both in-person and virtually.
Follow your passion, because when you give back, you’ll gain more!
