Volunteer work is very important in character development. Students that earn volunteer hours can begin building a resumé to showcase their academic achievements and efforts in the community.  Students with volunteer work, extracurricular activities and internship hours have a higher success rate in college due to their experience in balancing academics and out of school activities. The benefits of volunteering are enormous to you, your family, and your community.
