Do you ever feel like you're missing a purpose? Do you ever wonder if there is more you are meant to do? Are you bored? Do you wish you had more friends? If you answered No to all of these. Stop reading. This isn't for you.
But if your answer is yes...
You might be the perfect person to become a volunteer! I think volunteering is in my blood. I could say I started in 2017, but in reality, I started way back in elementary school when I was 'voluntold' I would be part of the church's Christmas program. And it was fun! I've volunteered for things across the board - dog walking at the shelter? check. Helping pack lunches? check. Artwork for charity auctions? check. Help non-profits with landscaping and painting? check. Sort clothes at a shelter? Check. Serve thanksgiving dinner to the homeless? check. Provide medical assistance? check. Direct traffic? check. Play piano for mealtime at a cancer facility? check.
Now this is not a Stewart moment. I'm not sharing this to say "Look what I can do!"
Instead, it's to give examples of the wide range of volunteer opportunities in the world. Whether you want to do something one time or get on a rotating schedule, there is a volunteer opportunity for you! One of the broadest ways to see what opportunities await you is through Volunteer Match . Filtering by locations and interests, volunteer Match suggests non-profits that would be great matches. You can also find great causes to support through Michigan Volunteers. Don't have time, but have resources? Michigan Volunteers also has wish lists available for local charities and non-profits. Outside of non-profits, you can volunteer in your community! Here are some resources for each county:
If you want to volunteer, but feel overwhelmed with the choices, I'd love to help you narrow it down and find a place that fits your interests! Reach out at any time and together, we'll find a good fit.
