The Volunteer

"Two more reasons why I like to volunteer"

One of the things I like about my community is the volunteerism that happens. I remember when I was growing up the volunteers I had coaching me in sports and drop in activities at the gym and the church. The adults made sure we were safe and that we had fun!  That is a big reason why I volunteer today.
