The WHY;Getting invloved in your community (intro)

Hello! My platform is "The WHY; getting involved in your community". I believe that we should volunteer from the heart, not just because we think we have to.
W: who to reach
H: how to reach
Y: your time and your heart
With my platform I encourage teens to get involved volunteering in issues and organizations that they feel a connection to. If they love music then they could volunteer with a peer music tutoring program instead of pulling weeds downtown. All types of volunteering are great but I believe that we can get more done and have a fun time if we enjoy what we are doing.

Every couple of days I will post a little tid bit explaining more of my platform and I will give examples of were YOU can volunteer next!
