5.  Volunteering is FUN!!

       The number one reason to volunteer is because it is fun!  People start to volunteer for many different reasons, but most of them stick with it for one reason--they have a good time.  This is your chance to do something you love.  If you like to garden, work with an organization such as the Gardening Club; if you like to build things, you can join Habitat for Humanity, the list goes on and on.  Volunteering is an entertaining way to take a break from your everyday life, and meet new friends at the same time.
