Volunteerism

Volunteering is a form of civic engagement that brings significant benefits to individuals and communities. Volunteers are important community assets, helping to enrich the lives of those they serve and often providing care and services that neither government nor the private sector can afford to provide on their own. High rates of volunteerism indicates the willingness of individuals to contribute in making their community a better place.
