Gary Slovin trusts that early involvement in charitable giving can turn in to a habit that lasts an individual a long time. A managing partner at Goodsill, Anderson, Quinn & Stifel LLP, Gary believes that practicing philanthropy early in life is a good way for a person to get around probable constraints of a budding career or a growing family.
"I do think that for young people to get involved they should start to make it a habit," he said. "And that doesn't have to involve more than a few hours a week, or even a month. It really doesn't."
"There are a lot of situations where people can volunteer. There's a lot of volunteer help needed, where any amount you volunteer is going to be welcomed, and at least that kind of gets you started, as well as contributing," Gary added.
He understands the situation of young professionals nowadays who want to get involved but lack the availability. Gary said that he himself did not engage as much in volunteerism during the start of his career as he was more recently. Having established himself in his career has given him the opportunity to partake more in non-profit activities.
Gary serves as president of the Hawaii Zoo Society, director and officer of Helping Hands Hawaii, and member of the community building committee of Aloha United Way.
