Want to give back and get something in return? Volunteer!

In this episode of Girlish Gurus Joy and Susan discuss how volunteering allows you to give of your time to a cause that matters to you, and get something in return, too. While we all know that volunteering provides needed resources to non-profits and good causes, it can also benefit you in more ways than you might think!

In this episode, we cover several key topics including:

• How volunteering benefits organizations and communities.
• The benefit and value of volunteering to YOU!
• Where and how to look for ways to volunteer.
