And if not...who cares. Some people just don't get the concept of giving something just for the sake of giving, without expecting anything back. |

Not if you have experience... employers don't give a rats ass about school degrees or volunteer work if you have experience. But hey, if wanna volunteer from the goodness of your heart and being kind... by all means go for it, just don't do it for the resume! |

many companies that are socially responsible (give a lot back to the community) will look at volunteer work quite a bit.
At my work, managers are expected to give back to the community in some way; be it charity, volunteer, fundraising, supporting local communities, etc |

I can't speak for specific law firms, nor have I began my law program yet...but in going through orientations for the two law programs I'm in, both of them are very keen on volunteer work and giving back to the community (naturally, it's usually through legal work) |

Community-based, free art event, backed by a multi-billion dollar profit money making company that offshores its centers of profits to tax heavens to pay less taxes in Canada, those same tax that could be used to fund social and community services.
Don't you find that odd? |
