Volunteer your way to a more balanced life

People who do volunteer work and help others on a regular basis have a healthier outlook on life. They are inclined to be go-getters, and consistently report being happier and more contented. . . . And please remember, volunteering is a privilege.”  Mr. McKay's article follows this one. - Alan Kagan, URVC Project Director [email protected]

Harvey McKay on Volunteering

Years ago, my father sat me down and gave me what was some of the best advice I have ever received. “Volunteer,” he said.

From the URVC: Nature projects await volunteers

Spring is in the air! This is a great time to give thought to engaging with the environment. Yes, if we are still in our homes, we look forward to cutting back raspberry canes, planting gardens for the lovely flowers and vegetables that will spring forth, and mowing lawns. But, many are in apartments and need the exercise and to use our nature skills. What to do?

Civic Engagement: An offer we can't refuse

Do you skip over the monthly URVC article when you see the “V” word? Are there more important matters than the needs of our community—or your own well-being? When we participate, we are engaged. We not only become inti­mate partners with those who use our skills, we become re­vitalized, mentally alert, psychologically uplifted, physically strengthened. You will live a fuller and longer life!
