Even though I have a very busy life I still make time for volunteering. I have found many benefits to volunteering. The benefits to me are that it acts as a stress reliever and also kindles happiness. It also provides a sense of purpose for me. Now, I know that sounds selfish so let's talk about some of the benefits that have occurred for others that I have helped. I have helped others learn skills, understand the value of networking and how to network. I have also assisted in the generation of revenue for some of the not-for-profits that I have worked with so that they can do more in the community.
" None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody - a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots..."
~Thurgood Marshall
