Time for trying new volunteer opportunities

I’ve been a bit selfish lately with my volunteer time  – spending most of it supporting the troops. My boyfriend and I escorted Wounded Warriors last week on two separate occasions. First, we took them to see the Legg Mason Tennis Classic Aug. 7th and then to see the Counting Crows show Aug. 9th. Both events were awesome and the Wounded Warriors as well as their guests had a great time.

While all time volunteering is important (especially for a cause I’m passionate about), I also want to spread the wealth a little. So here are two upcoming volunteer opportunities in the DC area I’m checking out in an effort to expand my volunteer experiences:

Timeslips: This opportunity is a creative storytelling method that helps people with dementia reaffirm their humanity and better connect with others.

Choices: Here I will get to work with youth to help them manage their money and teaching them about financial responsibility. Through Choices, an interactive game, youth choose a career, make money and go through all the real life responsibilities they’ll soon need to know and set them up for success.

Both of these opportunities are exciting and I can’t wait to get involved.
