Volunteering...What's In It For Me???

Alright, so we are all human… and one of our human characteristics is the “What’s In It For Me” factor.  It’s not that we are completely self-centered individuals, we are just so busy that every task we do needs to have some kind of compensation to make it worth our time.

As if feeling good, having fun, free food, making new friends, and spending quality time with family weren’t enough compensation – Clean Forest Project wants to shower our “frequent flyer” volunteers with tangible rewards. 

While our “Incentives Program” has been in the development stage for a while, we are keeping track of your volunteer hours and we have you on our “reward
radar”!!

Some incentives may include the following:

· A one night stay in a hotel on the coast
· Dinner for two at a local restaurant
· A Wine and Cheese basket
· Tickets to the movies
· A bottle of limited edition Clean Forest Project wine
· Dutch Bros Coffee Cash

Sound good to you?  Great!  We can’t wait to give you what you deserve!

Volunteer  -  It’s worth it!

The Benefits of Volunteering


In my last blog, we discussed how volunteering can actually improve your health.  But did you know that volunteering can improve your quality of life as well? Below are just a few more benefits that you receive when you volunteer:

· Have fun.  Really!  You’d be surprised at how much fun you can have picking up garbage in the woods! Combine a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with lots of laughter and you won’t even realize that you are really working!

· Free Food.  Savor a hot cup of Dutch Bros coffee and baked goodies provided to you when you get to the clean-up site.  Afterward, sit back and admire the results of your hard work while you dine on a delicious lunch provided by local restaurants.

· Grow your Social Network.  Meet people from all walks of life. Social networking is a great marketing tool, and can lead to new business contacts.  You will also make new friends that share your concerns about our environment.

· Family Time.  Make volunteering for a clean-up a family event.   Teach your kids the importance of volunteering, spend time together as a family, and learn more about your “back yard” environment.

Take the time to improve your quality of life… Volunteer!
