As people search for ways to enrich their lives, many are giving their personal time and skills to the community. Others are looking for new routes to personal and professional development. Individuals with special needs are becoming empowered to take charge of their lives and want a chance to contribute their energies to helping others. In short, more and more people are considering volunteering.

Animal shelters need volunteers.  Their budgets are slim and their need for human assistance to care for their animals are great.  the Queens Community Animal Shelter could not survive without the help of volunteers and the community leaders that coordinate their help.
