BY ANNE E. STEIN
I
nvestor and TV personality Kevin
OLeary isnt shy about how you
should handle your money, but his
advice isnt about getting rich quick.
Its about learning to save regularly
and spend wisely in order to avoid
financial ruin. It doesnt matter who
you are or how old you are, OLeary
says. We all need to understand and
deal with financial issues. In his
latest book, Cold Hard Truth on
Men, Women & Money: 50 Common
Money Mistakes and How to Fix
Them (Gallery Books, 2013), he
provides an easy-to-understand,
common-sense road map to navigate
money matters at every stage in life.
HOW SOON SHOULD PARENTS
START TEACHING THEIR KIDS
ABOUT MONEY?
Start them at age 5. Sit down and explain what money is, where it comes from and why
you need it. Then when your kids get allowances and gifts, explain that for the rest of
their lives theyll take 10 percent of everything they get or make and put it into a Secret
10 savings account that earns interest.
I set that up for my own kids, and because kids are online every day, they can look at
the account and start understanding how interest accrues. Then you can explain that
during your life, you will be a person paying interest to someone if you have debt
(mortgage, college loan) and that you need to reverse that by paying off debts and
investing your money. You as a parent have that responsibility; you have to do this.
WHAT ARE 3 OF THE BIGGEST MONEY MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE?
The first is not doing a 90 Day Number. Sit down with a piece of paper and list every
source of income over a 90-day period. On
another piece of paper list every single expense.
If youre spending more than youre bringing in,
youre in a very bad place. If youre breaking
even thats not good but its better.
Second is Ghost Money money spent on
stupid things, including coffee, magazines,
lunch and alcohol -- that should have been
invested instead. Over just one decade this
money plus interest adds up to a small fortune.
Third is buying things we dont need. Every
time you buy something ask yourself, Do I
really need this? Two-thirds of the time the
answer is no. Go into your closet and look at all
the stuff you dont need. This could be money
sitting in the bank accruing interest.
WHY DO YOU ADVISE PARENTS NOT
TO LET THEIR ADULT KIDS MOVE BACK
HOME?
If you dont put your children in a position to fend for themselves theyll never be
successful. Its painful but you have to kick them out, and they cant come back. It
sounds horrible, but you have to do it. Im talking about doing this with children who
are strong and can survive. Yes, the job markets hard. Plant trees or pick up garbage
until you can get a different job. Thats what motivates people. Thats how life works.
And heres a problem I see a lot: If youre funding your childrens lives youre eroding
your own retirement savings. CTW FEATURES

A NEW YOU SAVE MORE MONEY
ASK THE EXPERT
KEVIN OLEARY
KEVIN OLEARYS FIVE
TIPS TO SAVE MORE
MONEY IN 2014
1 Open a Secret 10 savings account. Set
aside 10 percent of everything you
make into this account.
2 Cut your spending by 20 percent. Its
not hard to do and it wont hamper your
lifestyle. You dont need two-thirds of
the junk you buy.
3 Avoid debt at all costs. If youre young
and getting married, for example, rent a
house, dont buy one.
4 Put some money aside and invest it, half in bonds and half in stocks that
pay dividends.
5 Keep an emergency cash fund of two months salary if you can.

ABCs Shark Tank has strong opinions on
money management, a topic he thinks
should be tackled starting early in life

IT'S TIME TO
MIX IT UP
CrossFit is definitely reigniting
the idea of group exercise with
the younger generation in a
more jockish, less aerobic-y
way. But these workouts are
based on highly athletic and
competitive exercise routines
and not for the faint of heart or
joint compromised. Its great
for the already fit who want to
be the fittest they can be.

Dont recognize any of these names?
Well, you will.
These are among the top fitness trends for 2014. But are they for every level of
fitness? And what are the pros and cons of each?
We asked two fitness experts to weigh in on these latest trends: Meg Jordan, the San
Francisco-based editor-in-chief of American Fitness Magazine, and Kathy Stevens,

POUND
JORDAN: Youre channeling
your inner rock star to do a
Pound workout. It was created by
two women drummers. You use
rhythm sticks. I like it. You stay
in a squat most of the time. I
think people got tired of
punching bags, like punch-bag
boxing. Instead of doing that,
now youve got sticks you can
pound away. Its more of that full
body rhythmic, cardio and
muscular skeletal conditioning
class. Its trying to be the next
trend, but I dont know how long
it will stick around.
STEVENS: It has great appeal for
both the younger and more vintage group exerciser. It
has a fun use of simple fitness tools plus great music
and a sense of authenticity on the part of the program
developers. Theres real potential to grow.
THE BAR METHOD
The hour-long class combines elements of isometrics,
interval training, dance conditioning, and sports
rehabilitation to quickly and safely burn fat and carve
muscle, its website states. But what do our experts
think?
JORDAN: I think its a great thing. It was founded here
in San Francisco. Its so huge in San Francisco. Its high-
end in terms of calorie-burning moves. It well-known
as being a fat-buster. People think that they have to
work at a bar. But it really is all about body sculpting.
You talk to someone who has done a bar method
workout and their butt is so sore. Make sure you are in
a beginning lesson.
STEVENS: The Bar Method brings back some great
memories if you ever took formal dance lessons as a kid
or young adult. Its great for core strength, flexibility,
balance and many of the other things
associated with Pilates, yoga and a
good old fashion dance class.
FLYWHEEL
STEVENS: Flywheel adds a new
coolness to the already popular indoor
cycle class. The niche studios popping
up are creating a fun and exclusive
feel for their members. Its a nice shot
in the arm for cyclists that may be
getting a bit bored with their current
class. Its for those that want great
cycle and other signature Yoga classes
without the large over crowded gym
feel.
JORDAN: Flywheel and SoulCycling
are both indoor cycling classes. At
$40 a class, its so expensive. The music blasts so hard
that they hand out earplugs. And they hand out special
cycling shoes that lock into the pedals. In SoulCycling,
they have a diatribe of Youre doing this for your soul.
It only lasts 45 minutes but you about fall over when
youre done. Not for beginners. Its very intense. Youll
be doing lots of simulated climbing. Theres a chance
for cardiovascular injury.
Flywheel is for those that
want great cycle and other
signature Yoga classes
without the large over
crowded gym feel.

CROSSFIT
STEVENS: It definitely aint your mamas workout.
CrossFit is definitely re-igniting the idea of group
exercise with the younger generation in a more jockish,
less aerobic-y way with a regimen that offers a changing
mix of weight lifting, aerobic exercise and body weight
exercises. But these workouts are based on highly
athletic and competitive exercise routines and not for
the faint of heart or joint compromised. Its great for
the already fit who want to be the fittest they can be.

JORDAN: Chiropractors say they have more patients now with CrossFit
injuries. The workout is notorious for people doing too much too soon. Low
back and disk injuries. The overhead presses and deadlifts are too
competitive.

FUSION
STEVENS: Fusion can mean many things, but the original use of the term
was to combine exercises and techniques between yoga and Pilates. Today
we see it meaning any two different group X modalities. So it could be a
cycle/body sculpt or a Yoga/boot camp. In any case the benefit is that you
get a greater level of variety in the hour format. Not everyone has time to do
a full cycle and sculpt or yoga and HITT training boot camp, so this can be
a fun way to maximize your workout time and also prevent overtraining
injuries that occur when you get stuck on one type of training routine.
JORDAN: Fusion classes will always be in high demand. Though sometimes
they get too gimmicky.

FOREVER ZUMBA
Sure, fitness crazes come and go. But then there is
Zumba, which beats on and on to lasting success.
But why?
I think its hot because of the music, says Meg
Jordan, editor-in-chief of American Fitness Magazine,
who has taken the classes herself. When you add a
Latin downbeat with lively passionate music, people
want to move. Weve had years of arduous workouts.
This one gives a lot of permission to just have fun.
Zumba has been joined by other hot, sweat
inducing workouts with lively dance music such as
Groov3 and Banghra.
They are all great cardio workouts each with a
very personable troop of trainers and innovators,
says Kathy Stevens, educational director at the
Aerobics and Fitness Association of America in
Sherman Oaks, Calif.
I call them all international dance fusion, Jordan
says. Some of it is hip hop. Some of it is Latin. Some
of it is from India. But they all have the same thing.
It gets your hips swaying and your toes taping. And
thats a huge trend right now. CTW FEATURES

Y
ou may have heard the popular
advice to eat smaller, more
frequent meals to stave off hunger
pangs while youre trying to lose weight.
Research actually supports the opposite
approach; that youll have better success
dieting if you eat just three square meals
a day.
Still, the message is more complex.
Whether youll respond to three or the six
meals recommended in some diet plans
may depend on how much weight you
have to lose, according to health experts.
Obese adults benefit from three meals of
equal calories a day, according to Dr. Todd
Burstain, clinical associate professor of
internal medicine at University of Iowa
Hospital and Clinics.
Hormones controlling hunger and satiety
dont function well in the obese, which
means they arent getting a signal that
theyre satisfied and should stop eating.
Eating three meals, starting with
breakfast, ending with dinner and no
snacks in-between allows the body to
become more sensitive to the hormones
ghrelin, which signals hunger, and leptin,
which cues satiety, according to Dr.
Burstain.
In fact, eating three meals may have
health advantages beyond appetite
regulation.
In a recent study of meal frequency,
eight obese women consumed 1,500
calories in a liquid diet. Half were
restricted to three (500-calorie) meals and
half to six (250-calorie) meals.
The women who consumed fewer meals

had lower triglyceride levels at the
end of the experiment at the
University of Missouri, Columbia.
Hunger wasnt an issue for those
who had longer breaks between
meals, according to Jill Kanaley, PhD.,
professor in the universitys
department of nutrition and exercise
physiology.
We never really had anybody
complain about being hungry. Some
people who were on three meals did
complain when they were close to
the end of the four-hour [break]
between meals. But these were
liquid meals, which arent filling,
says Kanaley, a researcher on the
study.
What about dieters who arent
obese, but have 15 or 20 pounds to
lose?
Should they eat three or six meals
a day?
Meal frequency may not matter as
much in the short term as long as
dieters do not have insulin resistance
and can maintain their ability to
know when theyre satisfied,
according to Dr. Burstain.
However, dieters probably dont
need to eat as frequently as they
think.
In general most of us are fooling
ourselves into the argument that our
blood sugar is going down and we
need a snack in the afternoon or
midmorning. Ive taken blood sugar
levels [of volunteers] and most
people havent had a slump, Kanaley
says.

Jill Kanaley, PhD
Protein, which is known to provide satiety, may be a key to
whether dieters will fare well on three meals a day.
Most Americans consume 10 to 15 percent of their calories
as protein foods, according to Heather Leidy, PhD., assistant
professor in the department of nutrition and exercise
physiology at the University of Missouri, Columbia.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends
that 10 to 35 percent of daily calories come from protein,
depending on age, physical activity and gender.
Eating more protein, 25 to 30 percent of daily intake, seems
beneficial for body weight management, according to Leidy.
In addition, Americans get twice as much protein at dinner
than at breakfast and lunch, according to Leidy, who looked at
data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination
Survey (NHANES).
People are eating way too much [protein] at dinner. It
should be better distributed with breakfast and lunch, she
says.
In her studies on satiety, Leidy focuses on low-fat protein
foods such Greek yogurt and lean pork. Although milk delivers
almost nine grams of protein in an 8-ounce glass, its not as
filling.
The body doesnt sense beverages as it does food, Leidy
says.
PROTEIN
POWER
THE UPFRONT DIET
Youve probably heard the adage to eat
breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince
and dinner like a pauper.
It has advantages for weight loss,
according to Jennifer McDaniel,
registered dietitian nutritionist in St.
Louis.
She refers to the practice as
upfronting calories.
Ive found that if clients are able to
eat earlier in the day, they can control
their calories. The evening meal tends to
be more caloric than breakfast, says
McDaniel, spokesperson for the Academy
of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Eating less and earlier at supper has
another surprising benefit.
Many of my clients weigh themselves
every morning. If they cut themselves
off [from food] at 7pm they weigh less
in the morning, she says.
Its not magic.
It could simply be that theyre not
retaining water if they dont eat at night.
But seeing a loss on the scale is
motivating, McDaniel says.

ven though switching from the traditional three meals to six mini meals a day
may seem appealing, putting it into practice can be challenging, say health
experts.
I would argue against snacking because the more opportunities I have to put food in
my mouth the more opportunities I have to make mistakes, says Jill Kanaley, PhD.,
nutrition and exercise physiology expert.
For a healthful weight loss diet, you need to reduce the number of calories you
consume each day, while including fruits, vegetables and whole grains along with dairy
and protein foods in your meals.
Say youre limiting yourself to 1,200 calories a day. Getting all the food groups into
each meal is easier when youre consuming three 400-calorie meals. Its hard to keep
track of the foods you should be eating when youre juggling six 200-calorie meals,
according to Jennifer McDaniel, MS, registered dietitian nutritionist, spokesperson for
the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Heres an example of a days menus, broken into three and six meals each for a total
of 1,200 calories.

TOO MANY MEALS, SO LITTLE TIME
BY DAWN KLINGENSMITH
E
arly risers have a more positive
outlook on life and are more likely to
succeed in their careers because they
tend to be more proactive, university
studies have found. However, night owls
may be more alert 10 hours after
awakening, compared to early birds,
whose energy fades.
Science aside, it stands to reason that
for early birds and night owls alike,
sleeping in until the last possible minute
can cause stress and reduce productivity.
So why not resolve to get an earlier start?
For motivation, think about what you
will gain and how youll use the extra
time. You can avoid rush hour traffic, for
example, and not work as late in the
evening. You can exercise, keep up with
the news or simply enjoy a leisurely
breakfast.
I get to the office at 6:30, about two
hours before official opening time.
Among the many benefits are much less
traffic, fewer interruptions at the office
and it gives me some padding to be able
to take a long enough lunch break to go
to the gym, says Jack Dare, IT director
for a Chicago-based industry association.
Theres only one way to wake up earlier
on a consistent basis, and thats going to
bed earlier, says Dare: Have a dark and
quiet bedroom, dont try to work or do
anything to get your stress level up just
before bed, and save a little time to
unwind before bedtime.
Start slowly, by waking up just 15
minutes earlier than usual. Get used to
this for a few days and then move your
wake-up time back in 10- or 15-minute
increments over the course of time to
acclimate to the change.
Think through the reasons you might

A NEW YOU BETTER SLEEP HABITS, INCREASED JOB SATISFACTION
RISE &
SHINE
Morning routines establish
a more productive and
less stressful day. Here are
some tips on how to ease
into a new early ritual

hit snooze and address them. For
example, if you dread leaving the warmth
of your covers, keep a fuzzy robe and
slippers at the side of the bed. If it helps
to have coffee made, use a programmable
automatic or speedy single-cup maker.
Light can be a friend or an enemy. It
may be tempting to check email one last
time at bedtime or watch TV to unwind,
but light-emitting screens have been
shown to affect melatonin levels and trick
our brains into staying wakeful. Avoid lit
screens within an hour of bedtime. In the
morning, though, it may help to turn on a
bright light right away to simulate
daylight. There are sunrise-simulating
alarm clocks that start filling the room
with a gradually brightening light before
the alarm goes off. Manufacturers claim
the sunrise effect is a natural cue for the
body to awaken, so by the time the alarm
sounds, you are ready to get up.
Establish a morning routine that sets
you up for success throughout the day.
This differs from person to person. Some
people like to ease into the day while
others like to hit the ground running.
Dont race to the computer. Rather
than checking email or reading the news
the moment you wake up, designate the
first 20 minutes for reflection, reading,
exercising or journaling to stimulate your
brain, suggests Randy Hain, managing
partner of Bell Oaks Executive Search in
Atlanta. Then, have a cup of coffee, sit
down and think about your day. Whatever
it is, make it your time its the one part
of the day when clients and family aren't
making requests.
Hain gets up at 4 a.m, and by the time
his first scheduled meeting rolls around,
as early as 7, he is energized and
engaged because hes taken care of his
mental, spiritual and physical health
first, he says.
Psychiatrist Carole Lieberman, of
Beverly Hills, Calif., ritualistically looks at
her vision boards when she awakes at 5
or 6 a.m. That way, I have my goals in
mind from the outset, she explains. I
have two vision boards: One is a bulletin
board that I use thumbtacks to stick
pictures on and one is my screensaver. So,
as soon as I sit down at my computer, Im
looking at it and have it in the
background all day.
While its possible to change a late
sleepers habits, a special alarm clock or
morning ritual may be less instrumental
than sheer determination, says Dares
co-worker Chris Stark, the associations
CFO. I dont think its naturally any
easier for me to get up earlier than for
anyone else, he says. Perhaps a possible
trait of high performers is the ability to
muster the will power to simply rise
when the alarm goes off.

eing physically active and eating home-cooked meals
may help reduce the risk of becoming obese. But
when schedules are hectic, one of the two health-
promoting actions may be shortchanged, according to
research.
When adults make time to exercise during a given day,
theyre likely to do so at the expense of preparing food,
according to a recent study by Rachel Tumin and
colleagues at The Ohio State University College of Public
Health, Columbus, Ohio.
However, you dont have to substitute one beneficial
habit for another.
It
doesnt have to be either, or, says Darryn S. Willoughby,
associate professor of exercise/nutritional biochemistry and
molecular physiology, Baylor University, Waco, Texas.
You can incorporate exercise and nutritious home-
cooked meals into your busy life if you take advantage of
small chunks of free time and dont require perfection,
health experts say.
Take cooking, for example.
If you think every dinner has to double as a tryout for
the next chef competition, you may be overlooking the
appeal of plain cooking, according to Suzy Weems,
registered dietitian and chair of the department of family
and consumer sciences, Baylor University.
Everything doesnt have to have multi-mega ingredients.
Get back to those simple, stripped-down 30-minute meals,
says Weems, mother of four.
One tip you can take from professional cooks is to
prepare ingredients in advance, the nutrition expert says.
For instance, chop extra vegetables in the food processor
and save for the next nights dinner. Saut a double batch of
chicken strips and refrigerate half for another meal.
Exercise doesnt have to be all-consuming to be
beneficial either.
Look for easy ways to move more.
It doesnt have to be structured exercise, says Steven T.
Devor, associate professor, department of human sciences
and department of physiology and cell biology, The Ohio
State University.
Standing every day will improve your health risk
profile. Get out of the chair and stand once an hour, he
says. If you need a reminder, set a buzzer to go off once an
hour to spur you to walk around the office.
Although efficiency is good to get everything
accomplished, a little intentional inefficiency can boost
your health.
Try to do things less efficiently so youre moving around
more, Devor says.
Your office, or your home, can give you a workout. Take
the stairs at work. Skip a step [going up] which turns the
stairs into a lunge exercise. You can condition your lower
body muscles, Willoughby says.
Do squats while youre in the kitchen waiting for the
water to boil.
Partner with your spouse or children for a rowing
exercise, Willoughby suggests: Form a large towel into a
U-shape. Grab the ends and have someone else grab the U
as you row back and forth.
After a while youll find a number of mindless exercises
you can fit into the day without thinking about it, the
experts say.
Its all about prioritizing, Devor says.
In addition, its important to get the most muscle for the
moves.
Two exercises, push-ups and squats, provide maximum
benefits for the time spent, according to Willoughby.
If you cant do regular push-ups, do a modified one
with knees on the floor. Push-ups work muscles in the
chest, shoulder and back of the upper arm with one
exercise, he says.
For your lower body, try squats, which work muscles in
the thighs, hips and buttocks.
If you prefer lunges for the lower body, youll be
strengthening your thighs, hamstrings and buttocks.

A NEW YOU LOOK & FEEL YOUNGER
BY BEV BENNETT
T
o take years off your
appearance, you dont need
expensive creams or lotions
or cosmetic surgery.
By eating healthful foods,
staying hydrated, being more
active and getting adequate sleep,
you can look younger than your
age.
Your outer appearance is a
reflection of your inner health,
says Elizabeth Somer, registered
dietitian, Salem, Ore.
Foods that are rich in vitamins,
minerals, antioxidants and
beneficial fats will enhance skin
color. Getting the recommended
amount of exercise each day will
result in youthful energy. Better
sleep habits will be reflected in
an appealing skin tone, health
experts say.
You can put all the $100
creams on your skin, but if you
dont follow a healthful diet, it
wont show up on your skin,
says Somer, author of Eat Your
Way to Sexy (Harlequin, 2011).
Start with consuming colorful
produce, which contain plenty of
antioxidants that may help
prevent skin damage.
Antioxidants fight free radicals
that cause skin aging, says Keri
Glassman, registered dietitian,
New York City.
These plant foods are high in
antioxidants and protective
vitamins and minerals, including
vitamins A, C and E and the
mineral selenium.
Orange or green fruits and
vegetables such as apricots, sweet
potatoes, cantaloupe, carrots,
spinach, collard greens and
romaine lettuce are high in
Vitamin A, which helps turn skin
cells.
Vitamin C helps the body
synthesize collagen, which gives
skin its elasticity. The vitamin also
helps prevent and treat damage
from ultraviolet rays.
You can get your fill by eating
citrus fruit, strawberries,
cantaloupe, cabbage, Brussels
sprouts, tomatoes and bell
peppers.
Then add nuts.
Brazil nuts, for example, are a
good source of selenium, which
is good for your hair and skin,
according to Glassman, nutrition
expert for the HLN upwave
program, Cook Your Ass Off.
Other nuts and nut products
are also beneficial.
Nut butter is important to
keep skin youthful. And nuts are
high in vitamin E, an antioxidant.
Sun exposure may deplete
vitamin E from the skin, Somer
says.
Dont be so fat-phobic that you
overlook fatty fish.
Omega-3 [fatty acids] in
sardines, mackerel and salmon
have shown great promise in
keeping skin moist, supple and
youthful-looking, says the
Oregon dietitian and author.
Those are the important go-to
foods; now add beverages.
You know how dragged out
you feel when youre dehydrated?
It shows.

When Im not hydrated I look
five years older, Glassman says.
Make water your first choice.
Drink it slowly throughout
the day rather than gulping it,
Somer says.
Contrary to former thinking,
coffee and tea also count toward
getting enough fluids, according
to Somer.
Get into the exercise habit so
your blood is circulating, youre
building youthful muscle and
maintaining a healthy weight.
Youll look and feel better if
youre not gaining, losing and
regaining pounds, Glassman says.
Do at least 150 minutes of
moderate-intensity aerobic
activity each week, and in
addition, do muscle-
strengthening exercises two or
more days a week (according to
recommendations from the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention).
An exercise routine may also
improve your sleep. Youll look
and feel younger if youve had a
good nights sleep, and theres
science to back that up.
Inadequate sleep may lead to
premature skin aging and less
ability for skin to recover after
sun exposure, according to
recent research at University
Hospitals (UH) Case Medical
Center, Cleveland.
In a study of 60 women
between the ages of 30 and 49,
half had poor sleep quality. In
various tests, the sleep-deprived
women showed greater signs of
skin aging, including fine lines,
uneven pigmentation and
slackened skin, according to
researchers.
However, thats probably no
surprise. You know how
haggard you look after a
sleepless night.
People who are sleep
deprived are judged as looking
less attractive in various studies,
according to Kelly Glazer Baron,
assistant professor of neurology,
director of the behavioral sleep
medicine program,
Northwestern University,

AGING FOODS
When your skin dries out, it
looks bad. You want to keep that
from happening, says Keri
Glassman, registered dietitian,
New York City.
Wrinkles happen with sugar,
salt and trans fats, she says.
Inflammatory stress can affect
your looks and well-being.
Unprocessed food will give the
body the building blocks it needs
to protect against stress, says
registered dietitian Elizabeth
Somer.
Feinberg School of Medicine,
Chicago.
Being exhausted and fatigued
will show up on facial
expressions. You can see the
effects of sleep loss almost
immediately, Baron says.
Adults should get seven to nine
hours of sleep a night; older adults
need seven to eight hours total,
according to the National
Institutes of Health.

A NEW YOU VOLUNTEER MORE
Be a Local
Superhero
Volunteering isnt just good for your
community its a positive infuence on
your health and happiness, too
BY WILLIAM BROWNING
Looking to give your time and get involved in your
community? Here are the six things you should
know if you want to become a star volunteer.
1 BE FLEXIBLE Its essential for volunteers
to just come into it willing to help however is
necessary at the time, says Emily Brake, volunteer
coordinator of the Boys and Girls Clubs of the
Austin, Texas, area.
Volunteers who are willing to go outside of their
comfort zone will be more valuable to an organiza-
tion and have a more rewarding experience.
Being committed and exible are key, says Les-
lie Peel, the volunteer center director with United
Way Lowndes County. Because sometimes details
cannot be given specically in advance and things
have to just shape up as they go.
2 VOLUNTEER WITH A GROUP
Youre not only getting the opportunity to help
and serve others, but youre also building relation-
ships with people who have similar values and
goals as you, says Brian Suehs-Vassel, campus
minister for service opportunities at Merrimack
College in North Andover, Mass.
Having relationships with other volunteers will
help foster a positive experience, especially if you
continue the activity long-term.
[It] always lends itself to fun and the ability to
make a larger impact in some circumstances, Peel
says.
She added that there are many needs, how-
ever, for individual volunteering, such as tutoring
which so many non-prots are seeking help with,
Peel adds.
3 BE COMPASSIONATE A lot of times,
especially working with kids, and when they
are at an at-risk population, its essential for our
volunteers to really understand where the kids are
coming from and that they may not have a typical
home life and school life, Brake says.
Its important that volunteers try to understand
what life is like for the people they are serv-
ing, Suehs-Vassel says. If youre serving at a soup
kitchen, for instance, challenge yourself to step out
from behind the counter and make conversation
with the guests.
4 BE PATIENT Communicate with the or-
ganizations volunteer coordinator if you feel your
role isnt the best match. If your rst experience
was not what you hoped it would be, ask about
other opportunities within the organization.
5 BE COMMITTED Remember that many
volunteer sites will require some degree of initial
training to get you up to speed.
Being committed is important because the agen-
cies, and recipients of the services they provide,
are depending on you being there, Peel says.
6 FIND YOUR PASSION Volunteers are
more likely to stick with an organization if they
feel a personal connection to it, or have a good
time volunteering.
I agree...nding your passion [is important] so
that you will nd satisfaction in your volunteering
and you will be enthusiastic for those you volun-
teer for, Peel says.
Retirees may also want to put their particular
job skills to use for the good of other and the com-
munity, she adds.
FIND AN ORGANIZATION
IN YOUR COMMUNITY
P
eel suggests that you begin at United Ways
Volunteer Columbus website, which is
volunteercolumbus-ms.org. Once there, click on
Browse Opportunities or Register tab. The
opportunities listed there are constantly changing.
There is also a Community Volunteer Center Facebook
page that the group uses to get the most pressing
information out.
If you cannot fnd a ft with Volunteer Columbus, get
a list from the Chamber of Commerce of local non-
profts and begin to call to see if any are looking for
volunteer help, Peel says.
