Dr. Sobek believes that giving back to the community, and especially the youth, is an essential quality of great leaders and successful professionals.  Everyone wins, from the individual to the community.  He believes that our great country is a reflection of the hard working and intelligent citizens of the United States. To continually improve our nation, we must help each other.  He encourages everyone to volunteer.  Everybody has experiences and ideas that are worth sharing.  Donating your time and wisdom encourages change in people, thereby empowering them to reach for lofty goals.  Volunteering is harder than donating money, but the effect is long term and enriches lives, both yours and theirs.
