Insights and Advice
POSTED ON 06/10/2008
Women who are looking to get involved in their community can get involved in many ways. However it is very important for them to observe the needs FIRST. You don't want to go out and volunteer just to volunteer, but specifically look for trends and needs in your area. In my area in particular, there is a great need for assistance for emotionally and physically abused women, at-risk youth, and drug abusers. When creating Mama Hill's Help, I identified the problems within my community and set up a blue print to work towards the solution. Women should look at areas that are not being addressed and fulfill those needs as it's appropriate. If you are not sure about your community needs, you can always reach out to nonprofit agencies in the area that always need assistance.
