Volunteering – a simple and great way to give back to your community.

Volunteering is a self-less good deed that can go a long way. With our busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering are enormous to you, your family, and the community. The most important benefit of volunteering is the appreciation that you receive after you have donated your time for a good cause.
One of the better-known benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Unpaid volunteers are often the glue that holds a community together. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. Dedicating your time as a volunteer helps you make new friends, expand your network, and boost your social skills.

A non-profit organization such as the Spain-Florida Foundation 500 Years thrives through the work of our wonderful volunteers. Without their help our efforts to promote the Hispanic and Spanish culture would be almost impossible.

The Spain-Florida Foundation has had the pleasure of working with many volunteers on different occasions. A partnership with the Florida International University History Department has allowed college students an opportunity to impact many young grade school students in the annual Hispanic Heritage History Bee contest in 2010 and again in 2012. In exchange the Foundation provided interns college credit for their academic success.

We have also had the pleasure of working with volunteers at the “Spanish Night hosted by the Coral Gables Museum” and we will work again with volunteers at the Spanish Food festival to be held in October, 2012 through 2013.
