Why volunteer? Making a difference is what Spartans do. Below are a few Spartans who shared their reasons for serving. 

"I have enjoyed volunteering my entire life.  I began with Special Olympics in Michigan, and never looked back. The programs that I am involved with now help the community, helps others, and benefits causes that I care about."

"I believe, as citizens of this earth, that we all have an obligation, a privilege and a duty, to serve. It is only through the love and support of each other that we can build better communities."

"Volunteering is an opportunity to give back to the local community and contribute to the shared Spartan experience. I've benefited from the sacrifices of others and believe in paying forward."
