allison Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 How many people here do? How much and why?I volunteer alot within certain areas; culture and social activisim for instance.I haven't always done as much , but have always done something...and was really raised to do so.Oddly the busier my life is the MORE time I seem to volunteer.I also tend to primarily volunteer to create or drive projects/events...less often do I volunteer to do "gruntwork".Seems those around me either;1. Have the time but don't.2. Do regardless of personal time, and without alterior motive.3. Do, but only when there is a tangible reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fista Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I volunteer sporadically, when the cause strikes me and when I can honestly put my all into it. I seem to have alot of good intentions, but fall short in the follow through department.I recently auditioned to be a volunteer correspondent on a local tv station. That one is purely for my own selfish needs so I can say that I am on tv, and also because it will make me super popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About twice a week. 1 day a week in a befriending program and 1 day a week in an after school program. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I heard that so-called "volunteers" don't even get paid. Kidding aside, I volunteer at campus/community radio station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
