Why do you volunteer? I grew up going to activities with my dad that he volunteered for. Having enjoyed my time with him helping others I am glad to continue having the opportunity to volunteer in numerous ways myself. I enjoy being involved in many activities and as a volunteer I am able to help others and see lives impacted in positive ways. It is very gratifying to see results and know you are a part of the outcome.
