A young person who has a job will probably not be able to participate
in a NGO activity which is held during working hours. I agree that
it will be hard to convince someone to do voluntary work during
weekends as the person may wish to relax or spend time with the family.
You are also doing some voluntary work as you are managing this
group. :-) The following email was sent to the ICTA in response to a
letter which one of the subscribers received:

The volunteer work can be an advantage over the other candidates for
the next job you are applying for.
