Whether you are a citizen or not, there are many positive ways for you to become involved in your community. Volunteering is a fantastic way to meet new people, make friends, create professional networking opportunities, and give back to the community. Most not-for-profit organizations, such as arts companies, sports organizations, and festivals rely on volunteers to operate. If you serve on the board of directors of a volunteer organization, you may improve your leadership skills and make contacts which could be useful in your work.
