Recently, there has been an upsurge in volunteering in the U.S. There’s also been a lot of talk about volunteers and volunteering. People are spending more time doing volunteer activities and thinking about volunteering.

Why would you want to spend your time doing things for someone else, when there are so many really good things you need to do for yourself and people you care about? When you have to work forty hours a week, or more, just to make your end meet your other end? Why on earth would you want to do more work?
