Rogowski and Singleton are even considering developing the program nationally and also providing cakes for old people who live alone.

Is there something in your community that could be changed?Is there a person in your neighborhood who could offer help?If If you're hoping for someone to make a difference,that someone could be you!

Volunteering your time is a great way to make a difference in your community.And you'll feel good about doing something that helps people or improves the places around you.

This past summer,my friends and I noticed how messy our neighborhood park was.We wanted to be different.We worked with our parents and teachers to clean up the park,We had a great time making the park even better than before,and now the whole neighborhood is able to share and enjoy it again.

Maybe cleaning up a park isn't your choice,though.No problem!You can turn anything that matters to you into a volunteer project.Do you like playing chess reading,or spending time with your pet?You can volunteer to do what you love to do.For example,you could help at an old people's center,simply by talking or playing games with them to make their days better.If you re great at math or English.you could volunteer to be a homework helper at your school.You're always needed to walk dogs or play with cats,Or you can collect things for homeless people,such as soap and toothbrushes.

You see,there is something for everyone.Whatever you do as a volunteer your time will be enjoyed and that always feels good.Kids everywhere are making a difference by volunteering.You can,too!
