"Volunteering can be difficult.  That's the nature of it sometimes.  Despite those inevitable challenges, there is always something the individual both gives and gains that's bigger than themselves.  The exchange for me seems so fluid and natural.  The exchange is what makes it worth it" ~ Anastazyia Vareschi '09

"The Waltham Group students are some of the most caring, responsible and friendly students I have worked with." ~ Michelle Ercoline, Community Service Department Coordinator

"Participating in Community Service activities and Volunteer Vacations has forced me to realize that the day to day conflicts and inconveniences that I experience are so insignificant and so selfish; its not only been a way to be a responsible citizen, but also a way for me to emerge." ~ Gina Ahn '09

"Working with kids, and volunteering in general, is one of those rare opportunities in life when you can really accomplish something bigger than yourself.  It's these types of altruistic acts that, even though they may seem difficult in the process, make you a truly better person in the end.  There's really nothing like it." ~ Josh Hochman '09

"Follow your heart, use your voice, and share yourself as you connect with someone; you may just be surprised at what you learn about yourself." ~ Lucas Malo, Director of Community Service

"I came to Brandeis without a career path in mind, but I'll be leaving knowing exactly what I want to do. And it's all because of LaCE! It's really changed my life." ~Anne Blackstock-Bernstein '09
