Organizations that welcome Volunteers - Here are just a few of the
many organizations that could use volunteers.
Click on the link of the organization that most interests you.
Start with your school. Duplicating, tutoring, reading to classes for as little
as 30 minutes a week, and even picking up trash around the campus can improve
your school. (My school's website - Lakeside
High School, Hot Springs, Arkansas)
Your church would
welcome assistance in answering the telephone, typing, cleaning the sanctuary,
teaching classes, and helping with programs such as Vacation Bible School. (My
Church's website - First United
Methodist Church, Hot Springs)
Hospitals need
candy stripers, aides, and volunteers to rock newborn babies and deliver
newspapers to rooms. Fundraisers are an excellent way to give money, also.
(Local hospitals - Arkansas
Children's Hospital, Little Rock; National
Park Medical Center, Hot Springs; St.
Joseph's Mercy Health Center, Hot Springs)
Boys and Girls'
Clubs always need people to coach sports teams and mentor young student
athletes. Cleaning the grounds, running the scoreboards and helping in the
concession stands are great ways to get involved, too. (Boys
& Girls' Club of Hot Springs website)
Libraries
appreciate people who are willing to file books, assist visitors, and help with
the reading and computer programs. (Garland
County Library website)
First Step School
of Hot Springs is one of my favorite places to visit. It is a school for
mentally and physically disabled students. I enjoy volunteering at First Step
School and interacting with the kids. (First
Step School website)
