New Year: New Opportunities! By Gwen, Volunteer Manager I have two resolutions this year: 1. Be More Active 2. Increase Community Participation at the Museum When I say "Be More Active," I mean I want to be healthier this year by biking more often, but being active doesn't always mean exercise. It doesn't mean running miles, going kayaking every day, or taking up cross country skiing (although all of those things would be great). It can mean many things, like having an active family life, being active politically, being active when it comes to nutrition, or being active in the community. So perhaps you didn't set a New Years Resolution, but I invite you to be more active in at least one way: The Community and you can do that very easily by volunteering. Let me push further, by suggesting that you volunteer for the Lakeshore Museum Center. Now at this point you may reading this and saying to yourself "Why should I volunteer for the museum?" or if you're a parent/caregiver: "Why should my child volunteer for the museum?" According to Volunteer Match (www.volunteermatch.org) , an online volunteer recruitment site, there are 20 reasons you should volunteer! YES 20!!
And for #20, the website says "Your favorite reason," because we all volunteer for different reasons. So ask yourself not "Why should I volunteer?" but rather, "Why would I volunteer?"
