Volunteering offers vital help to people in need, worthwhile causes, and the community, but the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer. The right match can help you find friends, connect with the community, learn new skills, and even advance your career. Most of SOM work is based on volunteering and will endeavor to set an example for community members, young and old, to follow and make volunteering part of their daily life whether at schools, hospitals or cleaning parks or streets and to open minds to volunteer for larger causes: local politics and civil institutions.
