I’ve been able to enhance my skills related to etiquette, personal relationships and technology, which transfer well to my professional career.”

“There is an intrinsic reward of watching shy and reserved individuals grow and mature into responsible young adults. It comes down to the “feel good” feeling you get when a part of something worthwhile and the knowledge you have helped “make a difference” for individuals.”

“Volunteering has forced me to become much more self-aware and reflective in order to ensure I provide the right advice in the right away. It’s also good to work for something greater than yourself; for a common cause that aims to make the world a little bit better.”
