"email" or "e-mail", but your suggested attributes are shown in this feedback. Databases like this one should be designed for flexibility, and would typically include many more attributes, even if some of them are blank for many of the records. When Volunteer Now! starts growing, the organization may also need more tables, such as one for
Employees, whether paid or not. Database design takes into account the current needs of the organization, but also leaves room for future growth and expansion.

Clubs specializing in volunteering, truly trying to combat the problem such as Key Club while also working in unison with other clubs such as Model UN and Spanish Club. Volunteering is essential in eradicating the problem of homelessness in our community. Although volunteering at many places over high school such as Honor Flight assisting war veterans for a flight to Washington D.C to visit war memorials, for the Eastern Farm Workers Association helping make tamales to sell during superbowl week, at the school such as Tillie’s Touch collecting sports equipment and giving it to children in need, or making sandwiches for the homeless, by far the one that has had the most impact on me has been the Samaritan Center. Volunteering at the Samaritan Center, although the process being rigorous trying to volunteer there is worth it due to having an amazing and eye opening experience. Facing the problem head on opens your eyes to reality and truly makes you
One great thing a person can do in life and that is to volunteer in an organization. Volunteering has many things a person can learn from that he or she may not know about. Volunteering is something that people do in spied of themselves. Volunteering, whether on a large or small scale, plays an important role in America.

Volunteering with the Boys and Girls Club has allowed me to help the boys and girls to have a safe place to come learn and grow while having fun. It is a place where young people can come and know someone cares about them. Volunteering makes a difference in the lives of boys and girls in the community.

One of the most important things you can do to ensure the success of our organization is to recruit the best people you can find to volunteer. This doesn’t mean they have to have the most impressive resume. Nor do you have to like them or share common interest. They are the people who will always give 100 percent because not only do they care about what they are doing, but they also know that even if the project at hand does not benefit them, it is still benefitting someone, somewhere. You might ask, why do we, as employees, need to know how to recruit volunteers, how is this task important to the United Way, and when should we recruit volunteers. Or more importantly, what are the steps involved in this process,
