Most of us join the PT field to help others, but this is a great way to demonstrate that passion on a global level! That's right! People in the field of physical therapy will be participating in this event around the world. How is that for unification?
Here is how to participate (the first 4 steps come from the webpage...the last one is my own addition):
- Go to the 2016 PT Day of Service webpage. Click on the "Pledge to Participate" button in the middle of the screen. Or click here to pledge.
- Find an organization to serve or join an existing group through an ambassador in your region. Your ambassadors may also have information on organizations in the area that could really use your assistance as well as directions for contacting those groups. The project can be as big as a service trip to a foreign country or as small as a trail clean-up in your local neighborhood with a few friends.
- Tell EVERYONE. I don't often condone social media, but this is an instance in which you would blast your message to the world to get as much participation (or at least awareness) of this event as possible.
- Serve on October 15th, 2016 or within 1 week of this date.
- Tell EVERYONE AGAIN! Tell people what fun you had or how you changes lives or how you helped someone in need. Start that conversation of service with others and get them involved too!
Remember, the world relies on visibility: the more visible the event and your actions, the more the world can be informed of physical therapy and gain access to our services...so let that Tweet flag fly!
