The Benefits of Volunteering

Many people chose to volunteer because they want to give back to their communities. What they don't know is that they aren't just benefiting their communities and those that they help. Through volunteering, people also benefit for themselves.

The benefits one might reap through volunteering include, but are not limited to:

• developing a new skill
• building confidence through accomplishing something worthwhile
• boosting one's career options and resume (73% of employers would recruit a candidate with volunteer experience over one without!)
• expanding interpersonal skills (motivating others, understanding people better, dealing with difficult situations, etc)
• enhancing communication skills
• building teamwork skills
• fostering goals
• and so much more!

In a world where it's all about oneself, by telling others how they can benefit through volunteering, the world's volunteer base can expand greatly!

One person truly can make a difference in the world. When others see one volunteer, the volunteer inspires others to volunteer, also!

So get out there and volunteer!
