Volunteering

There are many different reasons for you to start volunteering:

• To help others
• To learn more about this organization
• To beat boredom (if you find yourself sitting around the house feeling totally bored, volunteering in an activity you enjoy can be a great way to change things)
• To overcome a loss you have experienced (one of the best ways to help yourself in a time of loss is to help others)
• To gain perspective on life (there is no better way to understand your blessings than to help people in need)

Your reasons for volunteering are as individual as you are, but no matter what your reasons you can get a lot out of volunteering. You can learn about yourself, learn about others and meet a lot of interesting people by volunteering. You can help others as you help yourself.  As a non-profit organization we rely on volunteers for many roles and activities. There are many opportunities to  volunteer your time and talents.  Opportunities such as:

• Clerical
  
• Assist with large mailings
  
• Bowlers are needed for the annual "Bowl for Epilepsy"
• Volunteers are needed to assist with special events and fundraisers such as serving on committees, making phone calls to solicit items for auctions, etc.
• Individuals are needed to join a grassroots advocacy network
