Volunteering is
more than just a way to give back, although that’s an excellent reason to
volunteer. It’s also a way to get involved in your community. If you’re new to
Bryan-College Station, volunteering can help you become more familiar with the
culture, the people, and the city in general.
So for residents
new and old looking for ways to volunteer, here are some of our favorite
organizations.
Bryan
Animal Center
This is both an
adoption facility and an animal center that aims to reunite runaway pets with
their owners. Besides the need for volunteers to keep the shelter clean, they
also host events throughout the area which require volunteers. It’s hard to volunteer at this shelter and
resist the urge to adopt every furry little friend you see, but if you can
resist, Bryan Animal Center is a great place to start. To volunteer, you can
fill out a volunteer form at the City of Bryan’s website.
Brazos Valley Food
Bank
When we think of
volunteering, we often think — and rightly so — of lending a hand to those less
fortunate. If that’s your aim, Brazos Valley Food Bank may be the place to go.
They work to end hunger in Brazos Valley through mobile food banks, senior
outreach, nutrition education, and children’s programs. As a nonprofit, many of
their helpers are volunteers, everyday residents like you. Check out
their website to get involved.
BCS Habitat for
Humanity
Let’s say you just
found and moved into your dream home. Maybe you just fixed it up. While the
momentum is rolling, why not volunteer with Bryan-College Station’s Habitat for
Humanity? Habitat for Humanity is well known nationally — even internationally
— for building homes for those in need. However, if you’re not much of a
builder, there are other ways to volunteer at Habitat for Humanity. They can
also use clerks at their ReStore, committee members, and translators. Visit
their website to learn more about volunteering with Habitat for Humanity.
Experience
Bryan-College Station
Have you really
fallen in love with Aggieland since you moved here? Share that love with
others! Experience Bryan-College Station knows that BCS has so much to offer as
a destination, and they’re dedicated to showing off our over 30 attractions,
like the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum
and the Brazos Valley
African American Museum. Because football is such a major draw for
Bryan-College Station, often Experience BCS volunteers get exclusive access to
major sporting events. Apply to be a volunteer at Experience BCS’s website.
Bryan-College
Station has a thriving, giving community, and there’s no better way to fall in
love with it than to volunteer with these or other organizations in the area.
Of course, the first step to getting involved in this community is to find your
perfect Bryan-College Station home. For that, you need an experienced realtor who knows and loves this
region. She can help you find the right home. How you choose to get involved in
the community after that is up to you.
