Dr. Sarah Petschonek is the founder and executive director of Volunteer Odyssey. She consults on volunteer engagement strategies and speaks throughout the country on best practices in volunteerism.

'Many of us have been taught that volunteerism and philanthropy should be completely selfless. I would argue that volunteering needs to be positive for the organization AND for the volunteer.'
