Why Volunteer?

Bal Vihar is a non-profit educational organization made of community volunteers where all parents are expected to share the workload. This permits us to run the organization effectively and efficiently.

Parents volunteer for a wide variety of reasons, especially wanting to help kids learn our culture and celebrate our major eventss. There is a long tradition of seeing volunteering as a form of charity, based on altruism and selflessness. When you volunteer you are giving something back to your community by lending a helping hand to people and organizations.

What you may not realize is that volunteering also benefits you as a person. There are many good reasons to get involved in the community, including learning something about yourself. 

Bal Vihar of St. Louis offers volunteer oppurtunities for both youth group students and parents.
