Volunteering - The Happiness Effect
The Donald Tietz Charitable Foundation recognizes our community need for volunteers. In Algona and surrounding towns, there are many charitable organizations that would love your help! If you’re looking to meet new people, interested in charitable causes or want to learn skills to advance your career, volunteering can be a great option. When you volunteer, you have the opportunity to make a true difference in the lives of others, among numerous social, career and personal benefits to you. Contact us or the Algona Chamber of Commerce for help with finding your next volunteer opportunity in our area.
When it comes to volunteering, passion and positivity are the only requirements!
While learning new skills can be beneficial to many, it’s not a requirement for a fulfilling volunteer experience. The most valuable skills you can bring to any volunteer effort are compassion, an open mind, a willingness to do whatever is needed, and a positive attitude.
