I am interested in learning about what volunteer work people do, how they got started in it, what it involves and what they like about it or not like about it?

I am a volunteer at the MCG.Having said that I believe it to be an individual choice on where you volunteer I find amongst our ranks everyone has a different story many are retireed business people other are teachers, nurses etc in an extremely stressful work situatio.Others like me are caring for parents so see a lot of hospitals so this is ideal for us we are giving back to the community in a way were we represent our club and country to overseas guests. What ever you decide to do find what suits you but the main thing is to enjoy and feel fulfilled what ever it is you choose. Don't wait jump right in you will vet out as much as you give.
