There’s no better way to enrich your life than by making a difference in someone else’s. Volunteering is a great way to do just that. No matter how old, or young you are, giving just a bit of yourself can be all it takes to break the ice, and give someone the push they need. A nationwide program called Gliding Stars encourages special needs kids to go skating. Paired with able-bodied volunteers, the ice offers exercise, independence and joy in a most unexpected way for both clients and volunteers.
The world is filled with unprecedented opportunity. At any point, you can start an entirely new chapter. It’s never too soon or too late to make the rest of your life the best of your life. We all wonder one thing — “What’s next? And how do I create it?”Growing Bolder’s Launchpad to What’s Next answers those questions and more. In this special sneak peek, learn more about our featured speakers and special guests. Ready to join us on the national tour? Get more details at growingbolder.com/launchpadlive.
