Put Your Passion Into Action!
WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST WAY to encourage everyday citizens to put their passion into action, to realize their full potential as a volunteer, and to recognize those who already dedicate their free time to improving the lives of others? Governor Charlie Crist and the Florida cabinet will designate April as Florida Volunteer Month. How is that for a heartwarming idea? The three key goals of Florida Volunteer Month are:
-
To show Floridians that volunteering is good for the heart and soul, and how it can positively impact lives and improves communities.
-
To engage citizens in volunteer activities. Mentoring and tutoring are just two of the many ways to become involved.
-
To persuade businesses that promoting volunteerism shows their employees and customers that they have a heart and support their communities.
This
year, Volunteer Florida is once again celebrating the spirit of volunteerism
and its value to communities, to businesses, and to individuals who choose
to volunteer. The Florida Volunteer Month Web site offers resources to help promote
volunteerism, and Volunteer Florida will be executing a statewide media blitz
to make sure as many people as possible know that volunteers are the heartbeat
of Florida!
