Volunteering

Volunteering offers many benefits to you, the volunteer, as well as those being served.
Key to making the most of contributing your time, effort, and skills is finding the right volunteer opportunity. With the advent of the Internet, this is easier than ever: in fact, you can even volunteer on the Internet without leaving your home by being a "virtual volunteer."
Volunteering doesn't have to be formal, such as for an organization or a formalized activity. While we don't advise it, you could probably just show up at just about any non-profit and they'll give you something to do that would help. Or, perhaps, you could just help a friend, neighbor or fellow support group member who has a need.
Before you begin to volunteer, understand the rules about any government or private benefits you receive to make sure that volunteering doesn't affect them.
