There are so many reasons for getting involved in my community; I enjoy helping others and I gain life skills and experience, my social and interpersonal skills are improving, and it looks good to future employers. Health and well-being are so important, that’s why I volunteer with the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Alberta. The association doesn’t just help people right now, we all have a stake in the Association; work done there will aide all of us in the future. I think Canada is better, as a whole, thanks to volunteers who promote friendships and relationships, while also working with government to promote healthy lifestyles.
