Volunteer with Seniors in Halifax, NS

Feb 3, 2017

Not only does volunteering with seniors benefit the volunteers, but many seniors find the experience rewarding. One reason seniors enjoy receiving services from young volunteers is that they believe they have something to offer the youth in return – think tips/mentoring about life. It’s not difficult to see or understand that we have a lot to learn from the elderly in our community.Tips on relationships, stress, what matters most, etc. A wealth of knowledge, waiting for you to tap into.

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, I used everything you gave me.
