Altruism
My philosophy is that volunteers play an essential role in our society. People who are willing to donate their time and effort, not motivated my monetary compensation, fulfill a special purpose. It has been my experience that volunteers assist people in the community by carrying out invaluable services with a unique combination of commitment, passion and determination. As such, it has been my pleasure to be able to work with volunteers for greater causes above themselves. Specifically, I want to not only be a volunteer, but also to be able to be apart of something bigger than myself and make a difference as a dedicated member of the community.
