volunteers

When you volunteer with YEA you give part of yourself–your time, talent, skills, support and energy. You give to your family and friends, to your neighbors, to your community. Sometimes, you are giving to people you don’t know, to people thousands of miles away.

 

Giving is one of the reasons why people volunteer. Their contributions to others and to their communities bring them feelings of self-fulfillment and the knowledge that they have made a difference. Many volunteers feel that giving their time is a natural way to share experiences and knowledge with others.

 

Volunteering is also a way of saying thank you. It’s a way of recognizing the countless others who, in big ways and small, have made life richer and better through donations of time and effort. But there is more to volunteering than giving. As a volunteer, you also reap personal benefits and enhance your personal growth. You:

• - Learn through service
• - Enjoy better health
• - Forge a connection with your community
• - Feel good about yourself
• - Expand your social and professional circle

 

While we are currently looking for volunteers to help us fill these specific needs, we welcome your involvement in any project and at any stage. In order to get started as a volunteer YEA requires applicants to agree to our Standards of Behavior and complete a brief Volunteer Application (editable .DOC version).

 

We look forward to having you join our team.
