Individuals seek volunteer opportunities for a plethora of new experiences, fun and engagement in activities in organizations, and nonprofit organizations like Adoption Network Cleveland often greatly depend on the many hardworking hands of volunteers throughout the year. Adoption Network Cleveland was founded through the diligent effort of volunteers, and our programs thrive with the involvement of volunteers today.

Here are just a few reasons to get involved: 

1. A resume builder. Give your resume a boost by adding in a diverse experience. If employers are comparing resumes, your volunteer experience may put you ahead of other candidates.
2. Cultivate connections. It is important to give back to your community while crafting relationships with individuals in networks outside of your own. Volunteering gives you an opportunity to branch out of your comfort zone and experience new people.
3. It's fun! The work you do as a volunteer is important in impacting people's lives, but most importantly it should be enjoyable!

If you're ready to make a difference in the communities Adoption Network Cleveland serves by digging into the work that changes lives, let us know and start giving back. [http://www.adoptionnetwork.org/get-involved/volunteer.html]
