It is becoming more and more popular for older adults to volunteer these days. 
Whether they are looking for something to occupy their time after retirement or just
want to help others, they are volunteering in the community.  There are many activities
you can do to help your neighbors, friends, and organizations.  You don’t have to
volunteer for many hours each day, you can spend 5 minutes helping or several
hours if you like.  Need volunteering ideas?  The AARP has a web site titled
“Create the Good”.  You can get ideas on where to volunteer at and how to make
a difference in the lives of others.  Check it out at http://www.aarp.org/community/groups/CreateTheGood
