Why get involved?

Did you know that about 1 in every 4 Americans volunteers at least once per year, according the US Department of Labor? Although this is a significant number, nonprofits and service organizations still experience a severe shortage in manpower.

Now is the perfect time to get involved. There are nonprofits of all backgrounds everywhere looking for volunteers to do all sorts of the amazing things. Aside from the obvious social benefit of volunteerism, benefits can include improvements in happiness and even health, according the the Cooperation for National and Community Service. So really, what are you waiting for?
