You've seen news reports about people who need help after a natural disaster or animals in need. Or perhaps you've watched TV programmes about how lonely old people can get.
So what can you do about any of those things? The answer: You can volunteer.
Volunteering gives you an opportunity to change people's lives, including your own. Helping others in need is such an important part of the American way of life that many high schools require their students to spend a certain number of hours volunteering in order to graduate.
Volunteering isn't like school. Instead of having the choices made for you about where to go and what subjects to learn, you can choose what really interests you and who (or what) is most deserving (值得的) of your time.
If you like animals, help out at a local animal shelter. Most shelters depend on volunteers to keep the cats and dogs happy and well exercised.
If you have a friend or relative who has or had a medical problem (like cancer,HIV,for example), you might be inspired to donate your time to help an organisation that raises money for research, delivers meals, or offers other help to people with the illness.
If you like children, there are lots of volunteering opportunities — from being a Big Brother or Big Sister to helping out in an afterschool sports programme.
You also can: serve food at a homeless shelter; take part in a park cleanup day.
And if you have more than one thing you love, you can combine the two. For example, if you love kids and are great at arts and crafts (工艺), visit your local children's hospital and offer to lead art activities for young patients.
