To be honest, volunteering with Into the Streets was something I was not immediately looking forward to. However, after finally bracing the walk up the slope and meeting my wonderful team, I could already tell that the rest of the day would be an experience to remember.

I wanted to focus this conversation to the aspect of volunteering as a whole. This experience helped me stay in touch with the Ithaca Community and reminded me of the gratification that volunteering can give. You can make friends and learn about the community, and more  importantly, you can help change someones life for the better. From now on, I will always be sure to volunteer  in my free time, and enjoy doing it!
