I volunteer most of my day to helping youth - primarily in the low income area I live - for the past ~20 years.
It has become part of who I am, an integral part of my family life. I can proudly add that my married children all have similar habits.
It has come at cost of salary, working hours, and other personal advancement, but is totally, 100% worth it. I love my life, and feel that every day I am changing the world and getting real stuff done.
I am sure that some of my proteges will totally improve the world's problems in ways that I cannot imagine.
(In addition, I work at a small place that tries to do what's right - no crusades, political donations or shaming, but internally; EG. We dropped GA when we felt they were being to invasive, no products that we feel are not good for the buyer. Little stuff, but it keeps the focus on being good.)
