Why I Volunteer
Some people volunteer because a certain
amount of volunteer hours are required to graduate from high school.
Some people volunteer because they enjoy helping people. Some people
volunteer because it makes them look good in front of other people.
There are many factors that motivate people to volunteer . . .

“Story Dogs”…memorable moments in reading
skills!
If anyone ever had doubts about the efficacy of the Story
Dogs program, or wondered if they should get involved in
the program, they should have watched the recent reading
progress of a nine-year-old girl working with my long-haired
chihuahua . . .

Being a Big Brother!
I was asked to write a note about my recent experience
as a volunteer. Last winter I became a Big Brother in the
Alliston area. I had seen the sign on the hill outside
of Cookstown for many years and always thought that was
a noble cause . . .

Being a Big Sister!
Volunteering had already become a part of my life but the
most rewarding activity had just started. I had become
a Big Sister! I can proudly say that our match of Little
Sister and Big Sister is going strong to this day . . .

Volunteering in the Community
Some people may describe volunteering as a drug, a stimulant
that gives great satisfaction and joy as we help others.
Volunteering improves our communities and empowers us to
better mental health . . .

Being a Board Member!
Since I was 13 years old, I have always volunteered at
least a few hours per week. I started to volunteer
because I was motivated to help others and could not afford
to donate money . . .
