Incorporating Service Into the Rest of Your Life

"You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give."

—Winston Churchill

Who says program members and volunteers can't serve themselves while serving the community? Current and past members and volunteers have a great opportunity to take their next step—whether it is career, education, or continued service. Some move on to volunteer opportunities on their own and others come back for additional service opportunities.

Live the Value of Service Every Day

It's not just about joining a program or getting involved in formal volunteer work. You can live your commitment to service through small acts every day. Here are just a few:

  • Be a good neighbor
  • Speak up for others
  • Be an optimist
  • Be a good listener
  • Do something nice for someone every day
  • Share your good fortune
  • Be open to the joy of giving of yourself
  • Invest your time in doing good
  • Don't wait for others to step up to the plate
  • Dream of a better world—and make your dreams come true

Hear what it is like to serve in one of the Corporation-sponsored programs, and what some of our members and volunteers are doing now.
