American Bone Health has closed.  However, on October 1, 2023, we joined forces with the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation (BHOF) so that BHOF could continue offering all of the important programs and services created by American Bone Health. Please visit www.bonehealthandosteoporosis.org for more information about the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation.

The need to volunteer

Currently, there are 60 million people in the U.S. who volunteer in their free time.  So if people are not getting paid, why do they do it? Is it because they need it for a resume, they’re bored, or to meet new people?  Maybe for some, but do you know what the #1 reason is why people volunteer?  TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

This is the reason why I volunteer.  I have volunteered for several NGOs now and I can’t stop.  It is so rewarding for me to know that what I do makes an impact.  My fundraiser money, my time, and my efforts are going towards a mission I truly believe in, and that is the most worthwhile thing I think a person can do.

Now that I’m working for American Bone Health, I am on the other side of the mirror. Instead of being the volunteer, I get to see what our volunteers are doing for us and how they are impacting the communities around them.  I have so much respect for the volunteers who go out and do community talks and fracture risk consultations because without them, we would never be able to help spread awareness of osteoporosis and provide support to the older people in our communities.  So now I encourage you to help us fulfill our mission and prevent osteoporosis.  Volunteer once, and you will never give it up.
