Volunteers carry out a wide variety of tasks and play many roles.
Some serve as mayors or other officials in small towns and communities. They identify and organize groups to address critical issues. Some manage the food bank and other emergency services. Still others serve in health care, running the hospital gift shop and flower cart, serving as guides on tours, or providing information and communications to visitors. Social services agencies depend on volunteers for jobs as varied as clerical assistance to visiting homes of clients.
