Ever wanted to make a difference or share some local love in your community but didn't know where to start?
We're here to help! This easy Hi Neighbour volunteer activity will inspire others in your community to get involved!
What is a Hi Neighbour volunteer activity?
Hi Neighbour volunteer activities are self-directed new and easy ways to get involved in your community. And they're fun to do!
We've created accessible ways for individuals to volunteer and pay it forward through a number of activities that can be done individually or by connecting with like-minded people.
We're inviting the residents of Princeton to join our volunteer team and help us create a positive impact in Princeton. Sign up to be a part of Princeton's Hi Neighbour volunteer community!
The activity:
Our neighbourhoods feel pretty special when we're looking out for each other. But the first step is getting to know one another. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Spend time outside – this is where it all begins.
- Stop to say hello to neighbours you meet while walking in your neighbourhood. Introduce yourself, your family, and your pet, and see where the conversation goes.
- Have a ten-minute general conversation with neighbours who speak English as a second language.
- On garbage collection day, offer to bring the trash cans out for the senior or the mom of a toddler.
- Swap produce or flowers from your garden with your neighbours.
- Help with a neighbour's outdoor home improvement project.
- Ask for a small favour that your neighbour can help with.
- Get involved with a neighbourhood group or association.
- Offer to walk your neighbour's dog.
- Write positive, inspirational comments on your neighbourhood social media page to encourage uplifting conversation threads. Meeting people online can be a good place to start too!
- Connect with your United Way Community Builder to learn more about your local United Way Hi Neighbour initiative.
