Description of the Dix Hills Branch:
The AYLUS Dix Hills Branch is dedicated to make a positive impact on the lives of others in a meaningful, impactful and fulfilling way. The volunteer organization works to engage and recruit members of the community to join in on activities that improve the local area and benefit the people who live there.
Individuals can also benefit by learning new skills, gaining valuable experiences, and meeting new people. Volunteering builds a sense of community and belonging. Members of AYLUS Dix Hills are given a valuable opportunity to have access to organized community events.
Additionally, volunteering positively impacts on those on the receiving end. It provides them with much-needed services not obtainable elsewhere. Through this, volunteers can help to alleviate some of the challenges and burdens faced by the community, such as poverty, social isolation, and lack of access to essential services. Volunteering can also positively impact the recipient’s mental and emotional well-being by making them feel valued and important.
The AYLUS Dix Hills Branch hopes to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone!
