Did you know that volunteerism can be a path to achieving happiness? It's no coincidence that the concept of serving your fellow man is included in every 12-step program on the planet. The reason is simple. Volunteering your time to others that can benefit from your effort actually makes you feel good!

Join Corinna as she connects with Karen Knight, a volunteer management consultant that helps not-for-profits engage with volunteers so they can extend their reach and build more successes. We talk about a variety of charities, including Lasagna Love, a volunteer organization that provides food to those who need it when they need it in communities around the globe, Give to Get, a volunteer-driven company that asks people to volunteer their time to attend amazing benefit concerts, and Team in Training, the volunteer arm of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) that builds volunteer teams that raise funds for the LLS while training for marathons and triathlons.
