Volunteering gives you an opportunity to change lives， including your own. If you‘re feeling frustrated or overwhelmed by the news of a disaster，volunteering to help can be a great way to cope.

Helping others in need is such an important part of the American way of life that many high schools require their students to spend a certain number of hours volunteering in order to graduate. Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills — from working as part of a team to setting and reaching goals.
