Volunteering with Joshua Ironshell

There are many volunteer opportunities available in every community, and Joshua Ironshell has several tips and tricks that can help you find that volunteer cause of your dreams, even if you have no idea where to start.

• Consider a soup kitchen. Soup kitchens are always in need of volunteers, and this is one of the most rewarding ways to volunteer. Joshua Ironshell has worked with soup kitchens in the past and has found that the smiles of gratitude he gets are more than worth the time spent volunteering.

• Think about what you are interested in. Do you like sports? You might have a great time volunteering to coach a sport that you are interested in. This way you'll have a hand in the development of young individuals and also get some exercise at the same time! If you like to read, try going over to your local library and seeing if they need people to help shelve the books. There are lots of things that you can volunteer for by studying your interests. Joshua Ironshell is considering volunteering for a sports team that his sons might play on when they are older.

• Head to your local community center. Community centers often have a lot of information about people or causes that are looking for a helping hand. You might find one-off volunteer causes like setting up for an elementary school concert. If you have a helping hand, guaranteed that somebody can use it!

• Head to the hospital. Hospitals are a hotbed of volunteer causes. Being a 'candy striper' is a lot of fun and you'll be able to talk with people who might not otherwise have anybody to talk with when they're sick in the hospital.
