Since 1998, an estimated 109 million adults have volunteered in America. 13 million American teens have volunteered since 1995. These volunteers are concerned people who help children, the homeless, the hungry, the disabled, victims of crime, and many others. Volunteers are our neighbors, family and friends who give their time, skill and concern to people in shelters, hospitals, schools, churches and other organizations. In return, volunteers receive special feelings of worth, accomplishment, and compassion.
Volunteers create new friendships and make quality use of their time.
