« Through different organizations and my children’s school network and their sporting events, I met a few people who were already volunteering. They convinced me to give it a try. It quickly became a passion of mine. That happened 15 years ago already! Now, I would not know what to do with myself if I were not volunteering! »

Sometimes, it is not just about pleasure, but about taking a step back to quickly realize that your actions are making a difference in people’s lives. Volunteering is also an incredible experience—it gives you countless skills that will help you for the rest of your life. "
