While there’s a greater number of people actively getting involved in their communities, there are others who would like to find the time to do more. If you fall into this latter category, you shouldn’t feel obligated to rearrange your schedule to do something good for others. Here are just a few of the many ways you can give back when your time is limited.

  • Do a Good Deed Some prefer to avoid committing to an organization on a long-term or ongoing basis. Fortunately, you don’t have to work with an organization to do some good. If you have a spare hour, volunteer to mow an elderly neighbor’s lawn.
  • Talk to Your Employer You can make more time for volunteering by talking to your employer about sponsoring volunteer opportunities.

Finally, you can do plenty of good without having to get personally involved if you don’t have time to spare.
