Volunteering  opens  up  many  doors:  the  door  of  friendship,    the  door  of  cra7,    the  door  of  the  industry  contact,    the  door  of  new  skills.      

“You  could  call  it  karma  but    I  believe  that  we  reap  what  we  sow.    The    more  we  give  out  to  this  world,    the  more  we  get  out  of  it.” – Bridget Strevens-Marzo

“I  started  as  a    vounteer  just    because  somebody  asked.  Soon  I  felt  a  part  of  this  big  lovely,  amazing  thing  we  call  SCBWI.  I  made  friends  and  connections  and  learned  sooooo  much.  Now  I  feel  that    I  deDinitely  get  more  out  of  SCBWI  than  I  could  ever  put  back.”  –  Mo  O’Hara

 

“I  doubt  I’d  be  published  without  SCBWI” – Clare Bell

“I  doubt  I'd  be  published  without  SCBWI” – Clare Bell

“I  wanted  to  go  to  all  of  the  great  events  that  were  happening  in  London,  but  that  was  impossible  so,  now,  I  not  only  get  to  go  to  events  locally,  I  get  to  choose  which  events  we  host.”  –  Maureen  Lynas    

“Without  volunteers  SCBWI  would  not  be  the  vibrant,  exciting,  well-­‐respected  organisation  that  it  is.  We  make  fabulous  writers  and  illustrators,  who  wouldn't  want  to  be  a  part  of  that?”  –  Kathy  Evans      

“I  found  my  agent  at  an  SCBWI  event,  so  I  wanted  to  give  something  back  to  SCBWI.    I  wanted  to  be  involved  with  the  amazing  bunch  of  people  who  make  the  conferences  happen!”  Michelle  Newell
