Y
Volunteer
Contact
your local branch to find out about volunteer
opportunities!
"Our
volunteers say they gain more in satisfaction
and joy than they give in effort and inconvenience,"
says Michael Graves, CEO of the YMCA of Delaware.
"Even a small amount of attention and time
can make a world of difference in someone's
life."
Be
in step, in touch and involved. Helping others
provides a warm feeling of health and reduces
stress. Volunteering offers a way to help
oneself by helping others. Y volunteers talk
about helper's high - increased energy, better
eating and sleeping and lower blood pressure.
Volunteer
but volunteer wisely.
- Offer
your time and talent in an area you care
deeply about.
- Use
your skills.
- Don't
over commit.
- Learn
something new.
"I
am only one, but I am still one. I cannot
do everything, but I can
still do something. I will not refuse to do
the something I can do."
