Volunteen Nation Provides Many Opportunities for Young Adults
By Dr. Lori Gore-Green
Community Service is a great thing to be a part of. There are so many areas of volunteering.
Today it is so easy to find community service
tailored to your hobbies, interests, or beliefs.
There are websites and programs to help individuals
find specific community service opportunities as incentive to get more people involved and
to assure them that community service can be great fun and
will teach us how to appreciate what we have.
One website that is particularly remarkable is
VolunteenNation.org. This website is strictly for teens to search for exciting volunteer
opportunities. While there are several websites like this for
adults, this is specifically special as it encourages
individuals to get involved from a young age.
It is important for teens to experience helping others
and the feeling of appreciation that is granted
to them upon doing so.
The way it works is that teens search for volunteer
opportunities based on category, location and age. The Volunteen Nation team
leads service projects all over the nation, giving teens travel
experience and a sense of culture.
The goal of the program is to get teens involved in their
communities and to encourage them to join
Volunteen Nation events. Volunteen Nation also
features celebrity advocates that give back and help
inspire teens to do the same.
Volunteen Nation also offers grants and scholarships for
youth involved in community service. These are used to reward the youth that have made a difference in their
communities.
There are simple requirements necessary to
receive these rewards, however they are not
difficult and they will help someone else in the
meantime.
Volunteen Nation will change our youth for the better, providing them with the
necessary resources to serve their communities and
themselves.
