Volunteer for plenty of reasons this season
I am a student of communication studies at UNCG and I also volunteer for the Head Start program in Ray Warren Homes. In my time volunteering, I have learned that a male role model to children is found everywhere in this world, but the kids aren't going to find it on their own. For working men out there, the time you spend making a difference could be a lunch break once or twice a week with kids who desperately need your attention.
I am not trying to guilt anyone into taking an active role in their community; in fact, you can do it to be selfish. Go ahead and do it to have fun; do it to feel good about the interest you have in your city; do it because sometimes you can get a free meal or because there is nothing on television. The opportunities to volunteer in this city are endless, and the coming Christmas season will provide many chances for everyone to get involved. Just think of something you like doing and call the Volunteer Center at 373-1633. To work with Head Start, I contacted Nicole Spivey at Guilford Child Development at 378-7700, Ext. 5051.
