Do you work in schools?  Or are you just interested in education? Looking for an opportunity to give something back to your community?  The rewards of volunteering at the SPARK Learning Centre are many, and extend far beyond the good feeling you get from helping others.  Some volunteer experts predict that, over time, many people may find themselves on both sides of a volunteer exchange.  For example, a citizen may be a volunteer tutor at a local school and also benefit from volunteer transportation services.  This kind of mutual assistance is one of many great reasons to volunteer.  Here are some others:

• Make a difference in someone else’s life
• Learn about your community
• Develop leadership skills
• Keep active
• Make new friends
• Enhance your resume
• Explore a possible career
• Start a family tradition
• Take on a new challenge
• Become an agent of change
• Pass on a skill you've mastered
• Share your enthusiasm for a cause or belief
• Be a valued part of a team
• Help create the kind of community you want
