There's no paycheck at the end of the day and no retirement or health benefits either. So why do we and why should we volunteer? Two big reasons: You and We. You benefit by doing something that needs to be done and feeling good about what you've accomplished. We (the collective we) benefit by making the world a better place for everyone. Whether your cause is social or environmental, find out what makes you say "things could be better" and go out and make it happen! Its important to be a volunteer to understand that it is possible to make a difference and that you aren't alone in your quest.
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one.
