Providing value in your community
Q: I am recently retired and completely bored. Although I was glad to retire, I do miss feeling as if I accomplished something worthwhile at the end of the day. We’ve done the cruise and everything else one does when they retire, but I want something a bit more fulfilling to add to my day. Can you provide some suggestions?
A: Have you ever thought about working with children or possibly individuals with intellectual disabilities? There are so many ways to contribute to their lives. If you are a caring, loving, and passionate person, who needs the feeling of accomplishment in regards to a worth while feeling, consider how easy it is to make a difference in the life of an individual with a disability. You could do as little as you wish by volunteering at a group home on the weekend, or at the work center during the week. All agencies across Kansas have programs set up for volunteers to enrich the lives of individuals with disabilities. This is a meaningful contribution to caring and wonderful people who may have no one aside from the staff that care for them. Or you can jump in with two feet by being a Host Home Provider. This entails caring for the individual in service in your home, like a foster care provider, with supports and training from the agency. Host Homes are found to be very rewarding for the individual as well as the person hosting.
