EDIT C I edited this paragraph: In many cases events can't be managed entirely by the organization that hosts them. This provides the opportunity for people to support organizations that they appreciate without committing to a long term engagement. Some organizations regularly ask for volunteers, such as non-profit aid organizations. While others may just need a hand here and there while hosting events. In some cases, groups can volunteer together, for example, a church group that builds houses in Mexico.

I changed it to: In many cases events can't be entirely managed by the organization that hosts them. By volunteering to help at these organization events it gives people the opportunity to support organizations that they appreciate and are interested in without committing to a long term engagement. Some organizations regularly ask for volunteers, such as non-profit aid organizations. Others may just need a hand here and there while hosting events. These volunteers are an important link between the organization and the rest of the community. Volunteering can be done on both the group level and the individual level. An example of people volunteering together is a church group that builds houses in Mexico. One does not need to volunteer with other people however. There is plenty that an individual can do to help.

I changed this paragraph because I thought it was important to have a smoother introduction and to better address the things mentioned below.

EDIT C 2 I was actually not signed in for my first edit I found out so I did another one

I changed a paragraph from: I found that the Salsa club was very stuck up in a sense. Salsa dance is a very sexual dance and the members who were better than other new members liked to show this off. It's not ok to humiliate or make new members feel less important than those who have been in the club longer.

to: Another problem that can sometimes arise is a rift between the new members and the old ones. This rift can come in many different forms. One is instead of making the new members feel welcome and trying to help them, the old members instead seem to like to emphasize the difference in skill level. An example of this is the Salsa club. Some have found its returning members rather stuck up. Salsa is a very sexual dance and the members who were better and at it seemed to like to show this off. While it is great to believe in yourself and your skill, it is not alright to humiliate or make new members feel less important. This hurts the clubs recruitment as less people will want to join, but even more importantly it hurts the new members itself. No organization is being efficient if it is hurting its members.

I made this edit because I thought the subject needed to be elaborated on and made more general (so it could apply to more than just the Salsa Club). I also tried to make it sound a little less accusatory or the Salsa Club as not all the members are "stuck up."
