people volunteer at church, school or community for many reasons: mostly because they want to help and be involved, but there are other reasons, too.
In some areas, like school and church, there's a significant social pressure to volunteer, it's frowned upon not to do it. So some people do it for that reason - just to keep or gain a good reputation. Some schools require their student's parents to volunteer a certain amount of hours or to pay additional tuition.
Other people volunteer to meet new people, like after relocating from another city.
People volunteer, because they feel the obligation to do it, or the passion.
Others again volunteer to fill a void in their lifes.
There are many reasons to volunteer, and many ways to do so.
People here look strange at you, if you don't volunteer in some way.
Volunteering is fun. You can help others and meet new interesting people at the same time.

An activity motivated by one's own enthusiasm and passion. It can be something that lasts a few minutes or a lifetime, but importantly always involves an individual interacting with the people around them (online or offline).

What you do when you get arrested
Attorney: if you don't want to go on probation, you had better get your 24 hours of volunteering done. I recommend seniors and the latino employment fair.
