Its time to start

As the new year has begun, many people take the time to make resolutions.  They are typically resolutions such as “I want to lose weight” or “I want to be a better friend to others.”  Why not this year make the resolution to do more community service?  It is chalk full of healthy activities.  Service will get you on your feet and moving around, whether it is outdoors, cleaning a local park or being an usher at a community fundraiser.  If you want to become a better friend, service can help you become a better friend to strangers, helping those in need and creating a bond with those you serve with.  Take the time early this semester to think about how you can help the community and check many of the service opportunities on campus or in your home town. A good place to start is volunteer.psu.edu.
