We all have a responsibility to volunteer somewhere and I’m lucky that I get the education and get taken to places to see what’s out there and see what’s happening and to then be a part of it in hopefully an impactful way.

Garner frames volunteering not as optional charity but as a shared civic duty: “we all have a responsibility.” She then adds a note of humility and privilege—acknowledging that access to education and firsthand exposure to social problems (“taken to places to see what’s out there”) shapes one’s capacity to help. The quote suggests that effective service grows from witnessing realities beyond one’s immediate life and translating that awareness into sustained participation. It also implies an ethic of learning before acting: being “a part of it” in an “impactful way” requires understanding context, listening, and showing up where needs are real rather than where recognition is easiest.
