For some, sitting still is a foreign concept. Such is the case with attorney David Bondanza, who in addition to his law practice spends 60 to 80 hours per month as a volunteer emergency medical technician in Canton, Conn.

Bondanza was just 19 when he began working for a commercial emergency medical service company in Buffalo, N.Y., where he attended college as an engineering major. "I've always felt you should give back to the community," he said. "What really started it was when I was working and going to school—at that point, it was a paid job. When I got out of school, I started volunteering because it seemed like a way to give back."
