volunteers

So you're all excited or worked up about something and you decide it's time to volunteer and try to make a difference?  That's great.  But there's always a risk that you'll be overzealous, jump in to anything and everything with both feet and soon get burned out.  And then you won't have much of an impact on anything.

If you really want to make a difference over the long haul, you'll look (and "think") before you leap and make commitments that overwhelm you or you just get tired of.
