Volunteers...

Our list of amazing volunteers continues to grow! Yahooo! We are sending out a HUGE thank you to everyone who has registered to help make a difference in Elbow on May 12, 2012. If you know anyone who might be interested in joining the Elbow Community Park Project...please encourage them to volunteer! 


Reasons to Get Involved:

Why should your family lend a helping hand?
  • It feels good. The satisfaction and pride that come from helping others are important reasons to volunteer. When you commit your time and effort to an organization or a cause you feel strongly about, the feeling of fulfillment can be endless.
  • It strengthens your community. Organizations and agencies that use volunteers are providing important services at low or no cost to those who need them. When a community is doing well as a whole, its individuals are better off, too.
  • It can strengthen your family. Volunteerism is a great way for families to have fun and feel closer. But many people say they don't have the time to volunteer after fulfilling work and family commitments. If that's the case, try rethinking some of your free time as a family. You could select just one or two projects a year and make them a family tradition!


What Kids Can Learn From Volunteering:

If volunteering begins at an early age, it can become part of kids' lives — something they might just expect and want to do.

It can teach them:
  • A sense of responsibility. By volunteering, kids and teens learn what it means to make and keep a commitment. They learn how to be on time for a job, do their best, and be proud of the results. But they also learn that, ultimately, we're all responsible for the well-being of our communities.
  • That one person can make a difference. A wonderful, empowering message for kids is that they're important enough to have an impact on someone or something else.


Help teach the children in our community the POWER of volunteerism!!
