An Easy Piece of the Connection Puzzle
Building connections within your community are essential to enhancing quality of life and social fitness. Living the mobile military lifestyle can add challenges to these connections, leaving you not knowing where to start building healthy relationships.
Connections through volunteering are almost automatic. Volunteering brings together people that have an altruistic spirit in support of their community. It is amazing to see the results of an afternoon of volunteering, providing a more positive view of themselves and those around them, as well as feeling less stress.
Build a connection within your community through volunteering by:
-
Contacting your installation Volunteer Coordinator. Each installation has a Volunteer Coordinator that is aware of opportunities on and off the installation that can help build connection.
-
-
Volunteering Virtually. There are many opportunities to volunteer virtually. Although you may not be physically with others, the assistance, connection and joy brought through volunteering remains the same.
-
-
Just Volunteering. Once a month or once a week. With friends, family, or by yourself. Volunteering will begin connecting you to others, improving your mental and physical health, and having a positive impact on your community.
Volunteering can be the first step to an amazing connection within the community and the people that surround you. It is the perfect way to give back, while receiving the positive benefits of volunteering.
