I volunteer at the public library as a tutor to help English speaking people read. People would be surprised at the number of American citizens that cannot read.
My current 'learner' is a retired machinist. During high school he graduated based on "time spent", not knowledge.
There are thousands of decent citizens who volunteer, some of them are teenagers and the majority of them are older decent citizens.
And then there are philanthropist who volunteer time and money: Bill Gates, The Clintons, and all those groups that pay for the Public Broadcasting Service.
