Advice

If I could give one piece of advice to anyone even thinking about volunteering it would be to just start.  I know for me I had always thought about volunteering and it sounded like a great idea but I never took that first step to get started.  Once I did start it ended up being better than I could have imagined.  I think for many people the hardest part about volunteering is getting your foot in the door. Once your in somewhere it is going to be rewarding! Another bit of advice I would give is to just commit 100% of yourself if you are going to volunteer because the more you commit, the more you get back. The relationships and experience you can gain from a volunteer experience is unlike any other and is worth every hour that you put in.
