Because there are big-bot staff who do not do anything all day long and just spend their time to fill up their time. They always go to meeting and event which has a lot of free cookies and eating. They eat a lot and this is being done in a very cheap way, I would say most of crew are from poor and under represented families. While they literally per-function and do not do anything during working hour, their behavior toward volunteer is so pushy and insulting so that they order to do all labor work over and over. I found no fairness and justice among them in general but there are very few responsible people among those whole damn. Some of them are even pillferer because I have been witness in several occasion that they steal those gifts and toys which we receive from charity etc.... In general I would not recommend this place for volunteering despite CUMC and hospital have big name and reputation.

It's a good opportunity for people who are interested in medicine in general.

It gives me an accomplished feeling that I have given back to the community. Those who want to volunteer it will show them to appreciate the simple things in life.

They have some good quality programs and have been around for a while, and are a well-run organization. Nice people too.

I am a person that likes helping people andI have friends that do too. The way this world is now a days, the ones that cares the most about what they do are the people that volunteer. It's not the money that we love but it's the smiles on the paitents faces. I love to help people and I hope one day that if i'm ever in need that someone that I dont know will treat me the same.
