Great Shape! Inc. leaders are blessed to hear it again and again… “I thought I was here in Jamaica to give. But I have received so much more!”

Volunteering may help you just as much as our families benefit from clean teeth or a revived passion for reading. Here’s why:

You…

  • Build self-esteem and self-confidence
  • Meet new people
  • Feel needed and valued
  • Communicate to others that you are ambitious, enthusiastic and care about the community
  • Make a difference in someone’s life

“When I returned from my project in Jamaica, I noticed a change of heart in my approach at work.  And that was not something I was expecting to gain from volunteering… Yes, you might volunteer for SuperKids to teach. But be open to what you could learn as well.”

~ Michaela Kelly, SuperKids Volunteer

Consider yourself warned—volunteering will change your life.

Expect it.
