"The breeze, the trees, the honey bees - All volunteers!" ~Juliet Carinreap

I have thoroughly been amazed at the dedication, commitment, enthusiasm, and impact of the numerous volunteers at The Georgia Sea Turtle Center. Their hard work always put a pep in my step and inspires me to do more than my best.

The GSTC AmeriCorps crew recently volunteered at Map International stocking oral rehydration salt packets for overseas medical kits in celebration of AmeriCorps Service Week. We all had a great time together serving in a way that is "off the beaten path" of our daily routines.

We hosted the children of The Boys and Girls Club of Glynn County while several Jekyll Island Authority employees volunteered their afternoon repainting their facility. The children had a great time visiting the sea turtle patients, learning about nesting females, and eating yummy "sea turtle nests."

So if you find yourself this summer with nothing particular to do I encourage you to get up and go get involved! You can truly make a difference. And you can have fun while doing so :-]
