The NACC could not function
without its volunteers. We rely upon our membership
to serve on committees, interview certification
candidates, run errands at conferences, write articles for
Vision, and contribute in countless other ways. Without
those thousands of hours that you donate every year,
the association and its nine paid staffers simply could
not function.
For the Volunteer of the Month, we have compiled a list of every NACC
member who has volunteered within the past year, in
any form of service. Every month, we will pick a
volunteer at random to be profiled, in
order to show you the wide diversity of our members’
talents and contributions.

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean, but the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. We can do no great things, only small things with great love.

Margaret Mead
Service to others is the payment you make for your space here on earth.

Without community service, we would not have a strong quality of life. It's important to the person who serves as well as the recipient. It's the way in which we ourselves grow and develop.

One is not born into the world to do everything but to do something.

I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
Mahatma Gandhi
Everyone can be great because anyone can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't even have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve... You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love...
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The magnitude of our social problems will require that all citizens and institutions make a commitment to volunteering as a way of life and as a primary opportunity to create needed change.

I have been the recipient of love and service, therefore I can love and serve. There is great satisfaction in service to others, in seeing people and their conditions change.

We seldom stop to think how many people's lives are entwined with our own. It is a form of selfishness to imagine that every individual can operate on his own or can pull out of the general stream and not be missed.
Ivy Baker Priest
It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

Volunteering can be an exciting, growing, enjoyable experience. It is truly gratifying to serve a cause, practice one's ideals, work with people, solve problems, see benefits, and know one had a hand in them.
Harriet Naylor
Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Living is the art of loving. Loving is the art of caring. Caring is the art of sharing. Sharing is the art of living. If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.
Booker T. Washington
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong.

No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it for someone else.

When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.

I don't know what your destiny will be, but the one thing I know; the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
The moral test of a society is how that society treats those who are in the dawn of life. the children; those who are in the twilight of life. the elderly; and those who are in the shadow of life. the sick, the needy and the handicapped.
Hubert Humphrey
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
Aesop
Our nation will succeed or fail to the degree that all of us citizens and businesses alike are active participants in building strong, sustainable and enriching communities.
