Volunteering gives you a good chance to change lives,including your own. If you’re feeling amazed by the news of a disaster,volunteering to help can be a great way to make you comfortable. If you’d like to support a cause but can't afford to donate (捐献) money,you can donate your time instead.

   Helping others in need is such an important part of the AmericansJ way of life that many high schools ask their students to spend time volunteering in order to graduate.

   Unlike school,with volunteering,you have to get to choose what really interests you and who (or what) is most deserving (值得) of your time. Here are some ideas to get you to start:

   Help kids learn and grow. Become a Big Brother or Big Sister,or volunteer for an after-school sports program. Special Olympic games and events are great ways to get to know special-needs kids.

   Help the environment. Join a conservation group and help out with river preservation (保护). Take part in a local park cleanup day. You could also help out in a park office or education center.

   If you have more than one thing you love,find a way to put the two together. For example,if you love kids and are great at art,visit your local children's hospital and offer (提供) art activities for young patients.
