Volunteering In Your Community

On the morning news talk shows the word volunteering kept popping up and inspired this article.

I am one who truly knows what it is to be a volunteer and to serve your community. I am  involved with Lions Intl, Volunteer EMT, First Responder, Red Cross Disaster Services, CERT and County Medical Reserve as well as being a group leader in the pagan community.

I am a strong advocate for being a volunteer in your community to assist others. Being a volunteer with organizations or even serving on a local fire dept, EMS , CERT, or even at hospitals can give you a sense of fulfillment emotionally and mentally.

This is also why I speak out strongly to others about getting involved, being active and leaving all doubts and secrecy in the past about who you are! When you volunteer for your local community, your neighbors and friends see that and know that hey this person cares about others and cares about their home town and this same thing will also occur in the pagan community, it shows you care about what happens and that you care about being a active part of festivals, PPD Events, and other celebrations happening every year. Volunteering will often allow you to be a part of all the behind the scenes happenings, gain access to musicians and vendors and more!

Being a volunteer means to serve and that service is helping others in times of need such as severe weather disasters, fire, flood, tornadoes, but helping your neighbors and friends can also result in them helping you in times of need as well. I truly hope people will take the time to read this and understand the positive things that can happen simply by stepping up and saying “What Can I Do To Help?”

This is something I talk about often when I am live on the air to get pagans motivated to get active, participate and help support other pagans. Volunteering can be fun, you can gain valuable skills by offering your time to serve, volunteering can energize your life and allow you to network with others. Community Service is for everyone, get in step and have fun!
