Do u volunteer and why?

Yes, I volunteer at my kids' schools, in the community, and in the church.





The reason? Stewardship.





God gave us gifts of our talents, our time, and our treasure and it is up to us to use and share those gifts.




I have been a volunteer firefighter/EMT in my mountain community for the last seventeen years.





Why? Several reasons--one is that if we waited for the first paid engine to arrive up here, we would wait from 25-45 minute, which is unacceptable in an emergency.





Though I guess the main reason is that I have been the guy who needed help before, and I know how it feels when help finally gets there....




i love to volunteer! seriously, my friend and i say that community service is a sport!





i feel like i have so much in my life, while others are denied of their basic need. it feels good to offer a little bit of my time to help other people. plus i enjoy hearing other people's stories and learning from their lives, sharing laughter and tears.





i volunteer at the local food bank, elementary school, community center, and at walks for different causes. sometimes i'm packing boxes, working with children, cleaning, painting, setting up, or just cheering people on. whatever it is, i always have fun!




Yes, I volunteer every day.





I am in the Peace Corps, and I have been for the past 3 years.





I volunteer because if you put something good out in the world you make the world a little bit better.





When I left for the Peace Corps my country (U.S.) was inflicting wounds on the rest of the world and I wanted to try to heal some.





So corny, but you need to "Be the Change You want to see in the World."




I used to when I was able. I volunteered at my kids' schools and at a couple of local hospitals. It was for purely selfish reasons - I wanted to get out of the house and do something interesting.




I volunteer with my Boy Scout troop. I find it fun sometimes and I am also satisfied knowing that i helped someone.
