I was recently speaking to a Physical Therapist who works a very full schedule for RepuStaff and I was surprised to find that right after her shift she volunteers at a local non-profit organization here in Indiana. I know she is very busy and asked how she finds the time to volunteer and what is her motivation. She said she likes to utilize her skills in new ways that help people who may not receive help otherwise and that it also looks good on her resume.
I found the following on the Volunteer Match website( www.volunteermatch.org.) that provides some additional insight into the world of volunteering.
