Have You Thought About Being A CORTA Volunteer?Why? Most
people volunteer because they are asked. The reasons behind the yes are
as varied as the people saying the yes. Some want to be part of a
specific organization because they believe in the cause. Others want to
give back to society. Many want to have social contact with a specific
group of people. A few need some specific experience for a career or a
job. Some like to use their creative and leadership abilities to make a
difference. Do you see your reason here? Benefits? What
does the volunteer receive for donating this precious commodity, time?
Many receive the sense of achievement, of doing their best while
measuring themselves against others, producing excellence and taking
calculated risks. Some have the feeling of affiliation, of being
accepted and liked, of enjoyable relationships and interactions, of
working together with a concern for others and a desire to know fellow
workers. Others are looking for the power to impact and influence, to
be independent in their work, to attempt the impossible to achieve
status and privilege. In addition, CORTA rewards each hour of
volunteer service with a $1.00 per hour gift certificate to purchase
tennis merchandise or lessons! Who? Many
people volunteer, from the young who are in high school or college
looking for career insight or experience to the mature or retired who
wants to use skills away from the job. Where? CORTA
