What it’s like to volunteer with Chicago Fair Trade
The sense of community and camaraderie among CFT volunteers is unparalleled, and volunteers attest to a strong sense of fulfillment garnered in their volunteer roles. This sense of community is well reflected in the blog post of the avid volunteer, fair trade enthusiast, Andrea Dennis.
“We truly care for each other, we support each other’s projects, and we like to have fun. It is a very healthy mix of friendship and professional support.”
