Volunteers are the most important resources nonprofit organizations utilize. The ability of people to work willingly together for the betterment of an organization and themselves is a valuable resource.  Volunteering can have positive benefits for the volunteer as well as for the organization served.

People choose to volunteer because it…

• offers the opportunity to give back to the community
• makes a difference for the people around them
• offers an opportunity to develop new skills
• builds on existing experience and knowledge

“What is the essence of life? To serve others and to do good.” — Aristotle
