Why do Communities for Compassion volunteers work in teams? Why is a team better than individual help?
When a person in need depends on just one individual, and that individual’s schedule changes or they go on vacation or get the flu, their care recipient is left with no help. A team can cover for its members, and can also provide more help than one person can. Volunteers have lives beyond their service hours, and few have the time to serve a care recipient’s entire set of needs. Additionally, working on a team of supportive people is much more rewarding and practical than working alone. Team members encourage and pitch in for each other.
