Welcome back Gallivanters!

I’ve written several blogs about how to utilize your free time by finding interesting hobbies, one of which should be volunteering.

Volunteering is something near and dear to my heart.

I grew up volunteering with the 4-H and with different organizations in my high school, and it is a habit that has stuck with me in my adult life.

Serving others not only benefits our communities, but it can also help build ones’ self confidence.

If you’ve never volunteered before, it’s important to find the right organizations that align with your personal values.

To get you started, here are a few different organizations depending on where your interests lie that are always looking for new volunteers!

Animals

• American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
• Volunteering at your Animal Shelter

Construction

• Habitat for Humanity

Global Health

• The Red Cross
• The Peace Corps

Nature

• National Park Service
• The International Coastal Cleanup

Nutrition and Wellness

• Feeding America

I hope you enjoyed today’s blog and it kick starts your lifelong journey of volunteering with organizations that spark your passion for serving others.

As Gallivanters exploring the world, we are also responsible for it’s care.

So go!
