There’s an old joke that goes, “Volunteering: It doesn’t pay.” It’s always good for a few chuckles, especially in in the nonprofit world, where volunteers are so very important.

Volunteers are the real strength of the Electroregeneration Society. Some help out for just a few days, while others stay significantly longer — but we benefit from the knowledge and skills that each and every person brings to our programs.

And that joke about volunteering not paying? It’s just not true at ERGS. In addition to the personal satisfaction and fulfillment that volunteering provides, ERGS volunteers earn a free desktop computer after 15 hours. Everyone wins!

Thanks to all our volunteers. We really appreciate working with you.

Lee and Colleen are amazing workers -- they really helped us improve our recycling efforts.

The Kaspers (and friends) are real characters -- they brought a lot of fun to the warehouse.

Todd is one of our "repeat offenders" -- volunteers that keep coming back. His help is invaluable!
