"Through being a part of ChangeTheWorld, I was able to demonstrate to my peers the importance of volunteering. In today's society, volunteering has become almost like a job. However, I was able to experience the self satisfaction in helping others, and I hope that I was able to get that point across to my friends at JP II." - Mitchell Mancicone

"Why would I not help others by volunteering? Whether it's donating a couple of canned goods or offering a few hours of my time, contributing to my community is an easy and achievable task." - Katie Fairweather
