Make A Difference in Someone's Life... perhaps even your own!
Volunteers are truly the heart of the Bullying Awareness & Prevention Alliance (BAPA).
A wide variety of volunteer opportunities are available to choose from for both individuals and groups.
BENEFITS OF VOLUNTEERING:
Volunteering energizes you both physically and mentally.
Prevention Magazine notes that volunteering helps the release of endorphins, more commonly known as the “feel good’ chemicals that help combat stress.
Volunteering brings about a sense of well-being and bolsters self-esteem.
Focusing on others helps draw your attention away from your own problems.
Volunteering allows you to “try on” a new career, get free on-the-job training and look for job leads and industry contacts.
Teaching volunteerism to children (especially by joining them in their efforts) may set a lifetime example of helping others.
Employers are impressed when a resume lists volunteer work.
Volunteering allows you to meet people and gain work experience.
Volunteering allows you to feel connected to the community.
Many volunteers find that they get as much out of volunteering as the give.
This is your opportunity to help change someone's life... perhaps even your own.
