Leading up to a new year, most people are scrambling to think of a New Year’s resolution. As I have noticed, most people who are actually thinking of a New Year’s resolution are thinking of changes that they want to make on themselves. For example, many people think of losing weight, eating healthier, or being a better person.
But how come people’s New Year’s resolution is almost never for the community? Don’t we all want to live in the best town that we can? If you are someone who is looking for a New Year’s resolution that would make a great impact then you should really consider giving back to the community. But remember it does not have to be the New Year for you to start giving back to your community. You can start giving back any day.
There are many different ways that people can give back to the community. Since there are a lot of people that want new and better sports fields and equipment, a great way to help out the sports team is by sponsoring them. Sponsoring a sports team is helping out the community, and a great way to help certain sports team eventually receive newer and better equipment that will benefit them.
Another great way to help out the community is by volunteering your time. There are many great ways that you can volunteer your time to better certain parts of your community. One place that you can volunteer your time that will benefit a lot of different people is at your local school. You can volunteer your time by helping in the classroom, attend school board meetings, or you can volunteer to help chaperone for school events or field trips.
There are also a lot of different ways you can volunteer at your local YMCA. You could show off what you know and your talents by volunteering to teach a class, coach a sports team, or help out at one of their sporting events. A once a year volunteer act through the YMCA would be to work at the cruise dinner, or you could volunteer by helping out in the office.
Another way someone can help out in their community is by donating. You can donate to an organization like Love Inc. so that people who are in need of coats for the winter, or simply just a pair of shoes to wear, have them. Also, you could donate to your local school or local charity.
