I have volunteered since I was in middle school (as a candy striper at the hospital),. Last year I finshed up a year and a half as an Americorp*VISTA. They swear you in, which I thought was a bit hokey, but part of the oath you take is that your time in Americorps will be a year in a lifetime of service. I like that concept. I said yes to a few too many projects at my son's school over the last few years, so I am scaling back this year. I managed to only volunteer to man the phones to round up supplies for the holiday parties (i.e room parent).
New Bonk has a great point - seeing the results of your work is a wonderful feeling.
