Podcast: Volunteering?

I am doing my podcast, as I said, on volunteering for the special Olympics. I feel htat volunteering time and energy is an important ascpect to an individuals life. Not only is it a way to make a difference in your own life, but you can make an incredible difference in a total strangers. I am planning on informing poeple on how exactly they can become involved with volunteer work. Wheather its for only one day a year, or if they want to make this a year round hobby. Some people have more free time then others to help out, while some people have a large heart but dont have the time to volunteer. As I stated in my webtext, volunteers come from many different backgrounds and contribute in many different ways. People from the ages of five all the way to 95 can have an impact on an athletes life. I hope this podcast informs everyone how to get involved and how to MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!! lemme know what you all think... what I need to focus on more, and what is already pretty well known!

Hello, I really like your topic. You do get an amazing feeling helping change someones life by helping in any way possible. I used to volunteer for my cousins special needs class and for their activities but that was when i lived in California. Nowadays i just volunteer to help younger children with school activities.

I really like your topic and your proposal for it as well. I like the fact that you dedicate your time to the Special Olympics. Our topics are related in the way that we are trying to stress that others need to care, love, and help other people not just themselves by dedicating their time to something or someone. i hope to do that in the future for the people in Africa by joining the Peace Corps after college and teaching young African children. I also hope to move their so i can provide my love, caring, and dedication to Africa permanent. I really believe your topic will reach out and grasps people's attention. It is honestly a wonderful topic to discuss and shows that there are people in this world that care about others.

This could be a really easy topic to grab people's attention. You could start with a (brief) story about your personal experience and then go on to talk about volunteering for this program in general.
