Below is an excerpt from an article about the benefits of being a volunteer. You will find there are many benefits when you volunteer Colorado Springs. It starts as being a good deed or service to the organization and/or individual you are helping, but in the end you benefit just as much! At Springs Rescue Mission we want you to fulfill your passions and share your talents through being a volunteer. If you would like to get more out of life, give back to those in need.
"Fundamentally, volunteering is about giving your time, energy and skills freely. Unlike many things in life there is choice involved in volunteering. As a volunteer you have made a decision to help on your own accord, free from pressure to act from others. Volunteers predominantly express a sense of achievement and motivation, and this is ultimately generated from your desire and enthusiasm to help. Sometimes volunteers are regarded as do-gooders and those that hold that view also assume that one person can never make a difference. It may be true that no one person can solve all the world’s problems, but what you can do is make that little corner of the world where you live just that little bit better."
