"I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know. The only ones among you who will be truly happy will be those who have sought and found how to serve."
—Albert Schweitzer
Some Benefits You Feel, Other Benefits are Real
Perhaps the first and biggest benefit people get from volunteering is the satisfaction of incorporating service into their lives and making a difference in their community and country. The intangible benefits alone—such as pride, satisfaction and accomplishment—are worthwhile reasons to serve.
But there are other benefits as well—tangible benefits such as awards, job and education certifications, and more.
Benefits vary by program. To learn about the specifics, please visit one of our program sites.
