Time is the most frequent barrier that prevents people from volunteering.
Consider how your volunteer activity will fit into your normal routine. Start by reviewing your current schedule and time commitments. There are volunteer opportunities to fit every schedule and lifestyle for all ages from one hour a day to one hour a year, from preschoolers to senior citizens. Consider volunteering with a group of friends or your family to accomplish your service, social, and recreation goals all at the same time. It s always better to start off slow and underestimate your availability you can always increase your level of participation as you become more involved.
