This is so true. One of the benefits I found most surprising about volunteering is how much easier it is to make quality connections with people while working on a volunteer project. I suppose the simple act of signing up to volunteer probably biases the population towards extroverts but it seems like people feel more comfortable opening up while being altruistic. I thoroughly enjoy connecting with people in this way.
