| Summary: | “I saw a group of people working on a common goal. This type of work is very productive and it left me with a desire to do more.” “It made me think about how many people are involved and the effort it takes to run an organization.” “It made me realize how many people rely on various organizations for help.” “Volunteer work is good for the community and there is not a whole lot of work in that community and volunteering gets the young people on the go.” “It made me realize how under-appreciated and under-funded many groups are.” “It was my first introduction to boards.” “I learned to respect disabled people and their abilities.” “I did volunteer before SWASP but being there everyday enables you to see how the organization works, giving a clearer picture.” “Volunteering is an important part of growing up and learning before you enter the work force. Helping others is beneficial.” “The community became aware of its history and the opportunity to further develop it.” “It showed me the grassroots level of the community where we should start helping.” |
