Volunteering is one of those things that is wonderful idealistically speaking but not necessarily in reality.

All too often these organizations are sought by horrible people to socialize with fellow horrible people.

My point is not that volunteering is bad (it isn't!) but that it's pretty much like any other interpersonal activity. Something magical can result from it but all too often (if you're not desperate to meet people) you waste your time with a bunch of ruthlessly selfish people.
