I am a volunteer for the American Cancer Society's California Division. Working with this organization for 13 years, I am impressed by their commitment to the mission of fighting cancer. They are a community based organization relying greatly on their volunteers in all aspects of their programs. The partnerships between staff and volunteers seems unique to me in all the volunteer work I have done. I feel appreciated for my efforts and time.
