One of the greatest ways to make an impact in your community is by volunteering! As our Omaha community begins to fully reopen this summer, now is the perfect opportunity for you and your family to truly make a difference.
At DREAM, our programs focus on helping at risk children develop the knowledge and skills that are needed in life. Our non-profit organization relies on volunteers like you to make our programs as successful as they are! Below, we discuss some ways you and your family can volunteer in the Omaha, Neb. area this summer!
Why Volunteer?
First, let’s talk a little bit on why volunteering is so impactful. Volunteering with a non-profit organization like ours here at DREAM is one of the best ways to impact the community and the lives of others. When you and your family volunteer, you are able to see these impacts yourself, and gain a better understanding of what that non-profit stands for. Every non-profit is different in their own way, so there are many different options when it comes to volunteering!
Volunteering also does not only help the organization you choose, but benefits you as well. When you take time out of your day to volunteer, your self-esteem is boosted, you are able to network with others, you feel better, and you feel a sense of purpose and accomplishment.
